Is Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:APH) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Amphenol Corporation at current levels.
The connector company nobody thinks about is now the second-derivative AI trade with hyperscaler-grade growth and industrial-grade margins.
Where APH is headed
Amphenol is no longer a boring connector business hiding inside industrial ETFs. Revenue is compounding at 58% year-on-year with 25.6% operating margins and $1.1B of quarterly free cash flow, and the mix is shifting fast. IT datacom, which was a mid-teens percentage of sales three years ago, is now the growth engine because every 800G optical link, every GB200 rack, every liquid-cooled backplane in a hyperscaler build needs high-speed interconnect that Amphenol dominates alongside TE Connectivity and a shrinking cast of specialists. The company sits between Nvidia's silicon and the copper and fiber that carries the signal, and it charges a toll on every meter.
