The thesis — published March 18, 2026
Amphenol makes the parts that connect equipment in data centers, defense, and electronics. Demand is strong and the stock has pulled back from higher levels, so it feels like a less crowded way to play AI infrastructure short-term. Because investor enthusiasm has cooled, consider smaller positions rather than large, quick buys.
Primary drivers
- Data center and defense orders are keeping connector volumes healthy
- Consistent earnings show the business is running well and reliable
- Recent price pullback gives a less crowded entry into AI-related demand
