Amphenol shares have outperformed the industry in the year-to-date period. It is benefiting from robust growth across IT Datacom, commercial air, military, industrial and automotive end-markets as well as solid contribution from acquisitions, which is expected to drive top-line growth as witnessed in the first quarter of 2024. Acquisitions are helping Amphenol expand its position across a broad array of technologies and markets. Its wide array of interconnect and sensor products boosts long-term prospects. Its diversified business model lowers the volatility of individual end markets and geographies. Strong cash flow generating ability is noteworthy. However, a challenging short-term wireless investment environment, and weakness in spending by network operators, as well as wireless equipment manufacturers do not bode well for Amphenol.
Over the past four weeks, shares have rallied 18.36%, and there have been 5 higher earnings estimate revisions in the past two months for fiscal 2024 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
