Amphenol’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 16.25%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors to Drive Amphenol’s Q3 Results
Amphenol’s to-be-reported quarter's results are expected to have benefited significantly from sustained artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure investments, continued defense modernization spending and strong contribution from acquisitions including CIT, Lutze, CommScope’s (COMM - Free Report) Andrew business, LifeSync, Narda-MITEQ, XMA and Q Microwave.
A strong order backlog heading into the quarter likely acted as an additional tailwind. Orders surged 36% year over year and 4% sequentially to $5.52 billion in the second quarter, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 0.98 to 1. This healthy order environment is expected to have translated into sustained revenue momentum for the third quarter.
APH’s results are expected to have benefited from diversified end markets. A plethora of acquisitions are expected to have benefited defense sales on a sequential basis in the third quarter of 2025. Amphenol’s leading position in the defense interconnect market has been a tailwind. Commercial aerospace is expected to have increased in the low single digits range on a sequential basis. Communications networks sales are expected to have remained strong due to positive impact of Andrew acquisition. Mobile devices sales are expected to have benefited from strong demand for antennas, interconnect products and mechanisms designed in across a broad range of next-generation mobile devices
Expansion in alternative energy, instrumentation, medical, industrial EV and factory automation are expected to have driven sales in the industrial end-market despite negative impact from seasonality. The IT datacom segment sales is expected to increased in the mid-to-high single digits on a sequential basis, driven by strong demand for high-speed and power interconnect products despite strong comparisons.
