Prior to today's trading, shares of the chip packaging and test services provider had lost 3.2% over the past month. This has lagged the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 1.86% and the S&P 500's loss of 2.36% in that time.
Market participants will be closely following the financial results of Amkor Technology in its upcoming release.

Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $1.65 billion, down 5.78% from the prior-year quarter.

Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the company's business operations and its ability to generate profits.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
