On July 30, Amkor Technology rose 5.01% in pre-market trading, trading at $45.15/share, with turnover of $1.91 million, as the stock continued its technical recovery from a prior selloff exceeding 24%.
On the catalyst front, Morgan Stanley raised its price target on the company to $70 from $69, affirming strong Q2 execution. Additionally, Amkor's Q3 EPS guidance of $0.72 to $0.82 significantly exceeded the FactSet consensus estimate of $0.63, signaling continued earnings improvement that has gained institutional recognition. UBS also highlighted the company's advanced packaging business benefiting from AI-driven data center growth, projecting its revenue share to increase from 9% to 19% at above-average margins. These positive developments, combined with the long-term tailwind from the previously announced $1.5 billion multi-year advanced packaging partnership with Nvidia, are supporting a recovery following the stock's steep decline triggered by below-consensus Q3 revenue guidance of $19.5-$20.5 billion versus the $21 billion analyst expectation.
