Amphenol Corp. (US0320951017) was trading at EUR 78.59 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 3:42 p.m. CEST, with minus 0.85 percent versus the EUR 79.26 prior close. As Yahoo Finance reported on October 6, 2026, Goldman Sachs raised its Amphenol target from USD 102.00 to USD 116.00, while Baird lifted its target from USD 95.00 to USD 105.00.
Analyst targets move higher
The two target increases followed Amphenol's second-quarter performance and kept both analysts' positive ratings intact. The Goldman Sachs target is USD 37.41 above the Lang & Schwarz euro quote only in nominal terms, so the currencies are not combined in a return calculation.
MarketBeat reported on October 1, 2026 that 16 of 18 analysts rated Amphenol a Buy, with an average 12-month target of USD 96.85. The same report cited a USD 0.68 quarterly earnings-per-share result against USD 0.60 consensus and revenue of USD 8.76 billion, up 55.00 percent year over year.
Second-quarter growth sets a high bar
In the second quarter of 2026, Amphenol generated record sales of USD 8.8 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share of USD 1.35, up 67.00 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to Fortune. Orders reached USD 10.732 billion, up 94.00 percent year over year, producing a 1.23 book-to-bill ratio.
The Communications Solutions segment delivered USD 5.4 billion of sales, up 85.00 percent in U.S. dollars, while its operating margin reached 33.60 percent. Zacks reported on October 2, 2026 that artificial intelligence datacom demand drove much of the sequential growth and that Amphenol expected CommScope sales of USD 4.6 billion in 2026, up from USD 4.1 billion.
Guidance points to another strong quarter
Amphenol guided for third-quarter 2026 sales of USD 9.3 billion to USD 9.4 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share of USD 1.40 to USD 1.42. The sales range implies 50.00 percent to 52.00 percent year-over-year growth, while the earnings range implies 51.00 percent to 53.00 percent growth.
The next scheduled reporting date is October 28, 2026, according to Kapitalmarktexperten. That date places the coming report close to the center of the current valuation debate, with the stock near the upper end of its USD 59.01 to USD 89.93 52-week range on the primary exchange.
