Amkor Technology, Inc. (ISIN US0314551003) closed at USD 50.30 on September 18, 2026, up 4.90 percent from the prior close on Nasdaq. The move follows second-quarter revenue of USD 1.90 billion, up 26 percent year over year, and a third-quarter sales outlook above that level.
Revenue sets a higher base
According to Yahoo Finance on September 21, 2026, Amkor reported record second-quarter revenue of USD 1.90 billion, representing 26 percent growth from the same quarter a year earlier. Computing revenue also reached a record, supported by demand from data-center customers.
The company guided for third-quarter 2026 net sales of USD 1.95 billion to USD 2.05 billion. The midpoint of USD 2.00 billion is USD 100 million above second-quarter revenue, a sequential increase of 5.3 percent.
Margins and capacity remain central
Amkor projected a third-quarter 2026 gross margin of 18.5 percent to 19.5 percent, compared with 16.8 percent in the second quarter, according to Yahoo Finance. At the midpoint, the forecast implies a 2.3 percentage-point improvement in gross margin.
Amkor also expects full-year 2026 capital expenditures of USD 2.5 billion to USD 3.0 billion. That investment gives the growth outlook an operational cost: higher capacity spending must translate into sustained utilization and margin expansion.
Stock remains below moving averages
AMKR had gained 70.4 percent year to date by September 21, 2026, while the Zacks Computer and Technology sector had risen 21.8 percent over the same period, according to Yahoo Finance. The stock's 50-day moving average was USD 54.25 and its 200-day moving average was USD 56.81 as of September 21, 2026, leaving the September 18 close below both reference levels.
