On July 31, Amkor Technology rose 5.39% in pre-market trading, trading at $51.05/share, with turnover of $1.8112 million, extending its technical rebound from prior oversold levels.
On the news front, the company's Q3 EPS guidance of $0.72 to $0.82 significantly exceeded the FactSet consensus estimate of $0.63, reinforcing institutional confidence in improving profitability. UBS highlighted that Amkor's advanced packaging business is benefiting from AI-driven data center growth, with its revenue share expected to expand from 9% to 19%, supported by a $1.5 billion multi-year advanced packaging partnership with Nvidia.
The broader semiconductor equipment sector traded higher, with Lam Research up 3.79%, Applied Materials up 4.14%, ASML up 2.97%, KLA-Tencor up 3.50%, and Teradyne up 3.50%, providing additional sector tailwinds. The stock had previously declined over 24% following Q3 revenue guidance that missed expectations despite record Q2 results, and has since been staging a technical recovery supported by strong earnings momentum and favorable analyst coverage including Morgan Stanley's target price increase to $70.
