Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement:
Factors to Consider
Amphenol’s diversified business model lowers the risks posed by the volatility of individual end markets and geographies. No end-market represented more than 25% of sales in 2023.
Strong contributions from the acquisitions, including TPC Wire & Cable, Airmar Technology, LID Technologies and PCTEL (completed in the previous quarter), are expected to have aided its first-quarter results.
Acquisitions have expanded its high technology and value-added interconnect product offerings to end markets, including defense, commercial aerospace and industrial product offerings. Top-line growth is expected to be reflected by this trend.
However, weakness in the industrial, mobile device and mobile networks end markets is expected to have hurt top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
Industrial sales suffered from weak demand for battery and electric heavy vehicles, building automation, transportation and heavy equipment. The trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
Mobile device sales are expected to have suffered from weak tablets, laptops and wearables sales.
