Record Q3 Results Paired With Dividend Hike and New Buyback
APH sits 37% above its 52-week low of $59.005.
Summary
Amphenol reported record third-quarter 2026 results, with EPS of 79c and adjusted EPS of 80c, and paired the release with a dividend increase and a new $4 billion stock repurchase program. The buyback and dividend hike are the actionable part: they put fresh capital behind the stock right after a quarter that set records. The company guided to fourth-quarter sales of $10.3B and full-year EPS of $2.64 to $2.66. This follows a strong run of news — record Q2 sales of $8.76B and adjusted EPS of $1.35 on July 31, record orders of $10.732B with a 1.23 book-to-bill on August 3, and the two-for-one split declared August 6 and effective September 3. It also lands after a wave of insider selling in early August, including CEO Richard Norwitt's $111 million in option-exercise sales, so a new repurchase program reads as a counterweight to that supply.
