Amphenol’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 8.96%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement:

New Divisions

Amphenol created three new divisions, namely, Harsh Environment Solutions (“HES”), Communications Solutions (“CS”) and Interconnect and Sensor Systems (“ISS”), effective Jan 1, 2022.

HES, CS and ISS replace the company’s previous two reportable segments — Interconnect Products and Assemblies; and Cable Products and Solutions.

Factors to Consider

Amphenol’s diversified business model lowers the risks posed by volatility of individual-end markets and geographies. Contributions from the acquisitions of MTS Sensors, Halo, Positronic, El-Cab, Unlimited Services, Cablecon and Euromicron are expected to have aided first-quarter results.

Military market sales are expected to have increased sequentially due to the addition of MTS sensors to the product offerings, as well as on strong demand for interconnect and sensor products.

However, industrial end-market sales are expected to have witnessed moderate growthsequentially in the to-be-reported quarter. In the fourth quarter, the industrial market represented 25% of Amphenol’s sales and jumped 42% year over year.

Automotive sales are also expected to decline slightly on a sequential basis. However, broadband sales are expected to increase, driven by the addition of Halo’s portfolio.

Amphenol’s first-quarter 2022 top line is expected to have suffered from supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, as well as from lingering impacts of the pandemic.
