On July 31, Amkor Technology rose 6.49% in regular trading, trading at $52.15/share, with turnover of $34.61 million. The stock continues its rebound driven by stronger-than-expected Q3 earnings guidance and broad semiconductor equipment sector strength.
On the news front, Amkor issued Q3 EPS guidance of $0.72 to $0.82, significantly above the FactSet consensus estimate of $0.63, reflecting continued profitability improvement that has gained institutional recognition. Morgan Stanley recently raised its price target from $69 to $70, affirming the company's strong Q2 execution, which delivered EPS of $0.70 versus the $0.48 estimate — a 218% year-over-year increase. UBS highlighted that Amkor's advanced packaging business, benefiting from AI-driven data center growth and a $1.5 billion multi-year partnership with Nvidia, is expected to grow from 9% to 19% of sales at above-average margins.
Within the Semiconductor Equipment sector, peers rallied broadly, with Lam Research up 5.9%, Applied Materials up 6.04%, and KLA Corporation up 5.04%, reinforcing sector-wide momentum. The stock had previously declined over 24% on disappointing Q3 revenue guidance, making the current move a technical recovery from oversold levels.
