Amphenol Projects $6.22B Q4 Revenue and $0.93 EPS
Amphenol expects Q4 2025 revenue of about $6.22 billion and EPS of $0.93, implying 39%–41% revenue growth and a 62%–65% EPS increase year-over-year driven by AI infrastructure, defense, aerospace demand and strategic acquisitions. The stock trades at a P/E of approximately 49.74 and a price-to-sales ratio near 9.08, reflecting elevated investor expectations ahead of the January 28 earnings release.
1. Record Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Performance
Amphenol reported fourth-quarter revenue of $6.4 billion, representing a 49% increase in U.S. dollars, 48% in local currencies and 37% organically versus Q4 2024. Full-year 2025 revenue reached $23.1 billion, up 52% from the prior year. Adjusted operating margin for Q4 improved to 27.5%, while full-year operating margin expanded to 26.2%. Adjusted diluted EPS jumps were not disclosed here but were noted as significantly exceeding the high end of guidance, driven by robust demand in IT datacom and broad-based strength across all end markets.
2. Strategic Acquisitions and Shareholder Returns
During 2025 Amphenol completed five acquisitions, including the November closing of Trexon and, in January 2026, the $4.1 billion-sales CCS business acquisition expected to add $0.15 to 2026 adjusted EPS. The company deployed its financial strength to return nearly $1.5 billion to shareholders in 2025, purchasing 1.3 million shares for $171 million and paying $202 million in dividends. This disciplined capital allocation underscores Amphenol’s focus on both inorganic growth and shareholder value creation.
3. First-Quarter 2026 Outlook
Assuming constant foreign exchange rates and stable market conditions, Amphenol forecasts Q1 2026 sales of $6.90 billion to $7.00 billion, implying year-over-year growth of 43% to 45%. Adjusted diluted EPS is expected between $0.91 and $0.93, a rise of 44% to 48% versus Q1 2025. This guidance includes approximately $900 million in incremental sales and $0.02 in EPS accretion from the recently acquired CCS business, reflecting continued momentum in data-center, automotive and industrial markets.
