Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 87% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published October 9, 2025
Amphenol sells the connectors and sensors that let AI servers and cars talk to each other. Recent news said Q2 sales rose 57% and they won new AI projects, lifting expectations. Analysts see the outlook as solid. The recent average price is still trending up after a brief cool-off. If the price clearly moves above $127.50 in the next 0-3 months, the climb can continue. Given timing and valuation, consider adding after strength is confirmed.
Primary drivers
- Sales up 57% and new AI project wins point to rising demand and revenue
- Recent average price is rising even after a short pause, showing steady interest
- Favorable market mood could attract more buyers and help near-term gains
- Business spans data centers, autos, industry, and aerospace, reducing dependence
How it played out
APH: thesis partly played out but target was missed
Lyra published APH at 124.63 on 2025-10-09, with expected growth of 18% and a target of 146.79. The thesis pointed to sales up 57%, new artificial intelligence project wins, a rising recent average price after a short pause, favorable market mood, and a business spread across data centers, autos, industry, and aerospace.
Inside the window, APH rose to a peak of 144.09 on 2025-11-10, a 15.6% gain. It stayed below the 146.79 target, so it never got there. The signal ended at 138.91 on 2026-01-07. The thesis partly played out, but the target was missed.
