Amphenol Corp stock closed at USD 80.72 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, up 3.92 percent from the previous close. The move followed a period in which AI-related demand, the recent stock split and a dividend date shaped the trading narrative.

AI demand lifts quarterly figures

Amphenol reported record second-quarter 2026 sales of USD 8.8 billion, orders of USD 10.7 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share of USD 1.35, according to Quiver Quant on September 21, 2026. Orders therefore exceeded sales by USD 1.9 billion, a quantified comparison that points to demand running ahead of recognized revenue in that quarter.

The same September 21, 2026 report linked the operating momentum partly to IT datacom products used in AI infrastructure, including interconnect, fiber, copper and power products. The two-for-one stock split became effective on September 2, 2026, changing the per-share basis without changing the underlying equity value.

Analyst targets remain above price

Market data from StockAnalysis listed an average analyst price target of USD 99.26 on September 21, 2026, 28.00 percent above the current price, with 17 analysts included and a consensus rating of Strong Buy. MarketBeat reported a separate consensus target of USD 96.00 on September 21, 2026, based on 16 ratings.

The difference between the two published averages is USD 3.26, so the target range itself is material. A further counter-factor is valuation: GuruFocus reported a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 40.4 times on September 21, 2026, compared with a historical figure of 34.7 times, while its GF Value estimate was USD 80.03 against a market price of USD 80.72.

Dividend date sets next checkpoint

Amphenol's third-quarter dividend was reported at USD 0.125 per share after the split, with September 22, 2026 named as the record date and October 14, 2026 as the payment date by Moomoo. MarketBeat listed October 28, 2026 as the estimated next earnings date.

Stock closes at USD 80.72

Amphenol Corp stock closed at USD 80.72 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, with the session change recorded at 3.92 percent. The latest cited market data place the shares below the average analyst targets while the reported 40.4 times trailing price-to-earnings ratio marks valuation as an important counterweight to the AI-driven growth figures.
