The thesis — published December 2, 2025
Amphenol makes connectors used in data centers, 5G and cars, so it benefits when more bandwidth and electronics are needed. Shares have roughly doubled this year because customers are buying a lot of connectors. The stock has pulled back a bit and is settling near its recent average price, so buying small positions on dips targets steady, lower-volatility gains over a few months.
Primary drivers
- Connectors used in AI data centers, 5G and automotive markets.
- Shares have roughly doubled this year, showing strong demand.
- Business uses little capital, helping margins and cash flow.
