# Markwayne Mullin's Amkor Stock Trade 'Is on A Roll,' Says Nancy Pelosi Tracker As Stock Surges 60%

**Nancy Pelosi’s** stock tracker, on Monday, drew attention on X over Senator **Markwayne Mullin’s** (R-Okla.) stock trading disclosure for **Amkor Technology Inc.** (NASDAQ:AMKR) purchases in 2026 as the semiconductor stock rallied sharply.

## **Committee Role Raises Eyebrows**

In a post, the stock tracker highlighted that Mullin "is on a roll" and bought "up to $150,000 in Amkor" twice in 2026. The popular social media account noted that "Mullin sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, which oversees the military supply chain and military installations."

## **Amkor Benefits From Semiconductor Tailwinds**

Amkor is among the beneficiaries of the broad semiconductor rally. Analysts like **Adam Parker** recently emphasized that strong AI-driven earnings are particularly bolstering chip stocks. He labeled semiconductors his “North Star,” highlighting their central role in the ongoing multi-year AI buildout, which he believes is not a bubble.

## **Upbeat Results Fuel Surge**

Amkor reported upbeat first-quarter results, beating expectations with earnings of 33 cents per share and revenues of $1.69 billion. It projects second-quarter earnings per share between 42 and 52 cents, which is above the previous 31 cent estimate, along with revenue expectations of $1.75 billion to $1.85 billion.

Impressed by robust earnings, most analysts lifted their target price for the stock.

## **Insider Confidence Boosts Performance**

In a notable insider transaction, **Robert R. Morse**, a Board Member at Amkor, exercised stock options for 20,000 shares, resulting in a total transaction value of $1,007,800, as disclosed in a recent SEC filing. This action, reported on April 9, reflects confidence in the company’s ongoing performance.

**Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings** indicate that AMKR maintains a strong price trend in the short, medium and long term. The stock has a good Growth score in the 91st percentile and a Momentum score in the 98th percentile.
