Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published September 28, 2025
Big spending on AI and cloud keeps demand strong for Amphenol's connectors. The stock recently hit a new yearly high, and it is close to buying a $10.5B CommScope business that would make it larger and more diverse. After a sharp slide, we see lots more people are buying than usual and the recent average price is ticking up. With upbeat market mood, buying dips could set up a 3-month move back toward prior highs as the deal takes shape.
Primary drivers
- AI data centers need more connectors, lifting Amphenol's sales
- Planned CommScope purchase would make the business bigger and broader
- Price dipped, but buyer interest and the recent average price are improving
- After new yearly highs, positive mood may keep interest in the stock strong
How it played out
APH: thesis nearly reached the target
Lyra published APH at $122.36 on September 28, 2025, with an expected 18% short-term gain toward $144.11. The thesis pointed to connector demand from artificial intelligence data centers, the planned $10.5B CommScope purchase, stronger buyer interest after a dip, and positive mood after new yearly highs.
Inside the window, APH rose to $144.09 on November 10, for a peak gain of 17.8%. It stayed below the $144.11 target, so the target was never reached. The stock ended the window at $137.43. The thesis mostly played out, but it missed the exact target.
