Amphenol Corp. (ISIN US0320951017) was trading at EUR 68.79 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026, at 11:14 a.m. CEST. Markets Insider reported that Erste Group began coverage with a Buy rating on October 21, 2026, citing Amphenol's order backlog and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.23.
Coverage adds to growth case
The Erste initiation arrives after a strong second quarter. According to MarketBeat, Amphenol reported USD 8.76 billion in second-quarter revenue, up 55.00 percent from the same period a year earlier. Quarterly earnings per share reached USD 0.68, compared with a USD 0.60 consensus estimate.
The latest coverage also adds a new external view to a sequence of company-specific developments. MarketBeat listed Wolfe Research's September 30, 2026 initiation with an USD 105.00 target, while its October 21, 2026 report identified Erste Group's Buy rating as the latest coverage event.
What does the backlog signal mean?
The 1.23 book-to-bill ratio means orders received exceeded shipments during the period described by Investing.com. That figure gives the analyst view a measurable operating reference, while the second-quarter revenue growth provides the latest reported comparison for investors.
