Amphenol stock (ISIN US0320951017) was trading at EUR 74.13 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 4:02 p.m. CEST, plus 0.07 percent versus the prior close of EUR 74.08. On September 28, 2026, Zacks Research downgraded Amphenol from Strong Buy to Hold, as MarketBeat reported.

Zacks changes the rating balance

The downgrade contrasts with a still-positive analyst picture. MarketBeat cited 15 Buy ratings and two Holds, alongside an average price target of USD 96.34.

That target stands above the USD 83.90 NYSE price reported by the finance quote at 10:07 a.m. EDT on October 1, 2026. The comparison leaves the rating change as a valuation question rather than a broad analyst rejection.

Revenue growth raises the bar

Amphenol delivered revenue of USD 8.76 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 55.00 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, according to MarketBeat. Earnings per share reached USD 0.68 versus a USD 0.60 consensus estimate, a USD 0.08 comparison in the company's favor.

For the third quarter of 2026, Amphenol set earnings-per-share guidance at USD 1.40-1.42, according to the same MarketBeat report. The figures show why the stock can attract growth-oriented coverage while the Hold rating highlights the higher expectations embedded in the valuation.

NYSE range keeps the valuation visible

On the NYSE, Amphenol was trading at USD 83.90 on October 1, 2026 at 10:07 a.m. EDT. Its market capitalization was USD 206.9 billion, while the 52-week range stood at USD 59.01 to USD 89.26.

Amphenol describes its business as a provider of connectors, interconnect systems, sensors and antenna solutions across automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial and communications markets, according to Amphenol. That end-market spread gives the quarterly revenue comparison more weight than a single product cycle.
