Amphenol (APH - Free Report) is set to report its first-quarter 2024 results on Apr 24.
It expects first-quarter 2024 earnings between 71 cents and 73 cents per share, indicating growth between 3% and 6% year over year. Revenues are anticipated between $3.04 billion and $3.10 billion.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.08 billion, indicating an increase of 3.48% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for earnings has been steady at 74 cents per share over the past 30 days, suggesting 7.25% growth from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
Amphenol’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.59%.
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.
