Amphenol reported its record third-quarter results on Wednesday, October 28. An AD HOC NEWS report, based on the company's investor-relations release, said sales rose 65 percent year over year to 10.2 billion US dollars. Organic growth reached 37 percent, while orders rose to 12.2 billion US dollars and produced a book-to-bill ratio of 1.19.
Growth extends beyond quarterly results
Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 74 percent to 0.80 US dollars, while GAAP diluted earnings per share rose 61 percent to 0.79 US dollars. Communications Solutions generated 6.58 billion US dollars in quarterly sales, up 99 percent year over year, making it the largest contributor.
Management expects fourth-quarter sales of 10.3 billion to 10.5 billion US dollars and adjusted diluted earnings per share of 0.81 to 0.83 US dollars. The full-year outlook calls for sales of 36.9 billion to 37.1 billion US dollars and adjusted diluted earnings per share of 2.82 to 2.84 US dollars, excluding acquisitions that have not yet closed.
Capital returns raise the next checkpoints
The board increased the quarterly dividend by 20 percent to 0.15 US dollars per share. The higher payment is scheduled for January 13, 2027, for shareholders of record on December 22, 2026.
Amphenol expects to complete its existing three-year, 2 billion US dollar repurchase plan by December 31, 2026. A new three-year, 4 billion US dollar authorization is scheduled to begin on January 1, 2027. Investors will therefore weigh datacom demand and acquisition execution against the company's ability to sustain its elevated growth and capital-return plans.
