Amphenol Earnings Details
For the quarter, Amphenol reported GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.79, up 61% compared to the prior year, and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.80, up 74%. Sales rose 37% organically, and orders reached $12.2 billion, a book-to-bill of 1.19:1. GAAP and Adjusted Operating Margin were 29.5% and 29.7%, respectively, while operating and free cash flow were $2.1 billion and $1.6 billion, the release said.
“We are pleased to have closed the third quarter of 2026 with record sales and Adjusted Diluted EPS, both exceeding the high end of our guidance,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer R. Adam Norwitt. He said the sales increase was driven by organic growth in most of the company’s end markets, including the IT datacom market, as well as contributions from its acquisition program.
On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share, up from $0.125, and a new three-year, $4 billion stock repurchase plan that becomes effective on January 1, 2027. During the third quarter, the company purchased 3.0 million shares for $245 million and paid dividends of $308 million.
Why It Matters for APH
For the fourth quarter of 2026, Amphenol expects sales of $10.3 to $10.5 billion, which it said represents an approximately 60% increase over the prior year quarter, and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.81 to $0.83, a 65% to 69% increase. For the full year 2026, it expects sales of $36.9 billion to $37.1 billion and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $2.82 to $2.84, assuming current market conditions and constant exchange rates.
The company said it closed the acquisition of Empire Electronics at the beginning of September and signed agreements to acquire AdvancedPCB, Dexgreen Limited and Humanetics Sensors, for a combined purchase price of approximately $1.6 billion including Empire Electronics.
