The S&P 500 added 0.09% over the same stretch, leaving the stock roughly 47.61 percentage points behind the benchmark. It was a week of sharp reversals. On Monday 31 August the stock opened at $156.41 and closed at $158.55. Tuesday 1 September pushed higher to an intraday high of $163.29 before closing at $163.18. By Wednesday 2 September it had still held near $160.08, but Thursday 3 September opened all the way down at $80.82 and spent the session between $79.33 and $82.16, closing at $82.07. Friday 4 September kept the stock in a tight range and closed at $82.78. Most of the weekly loss came from that Thursday gap-down, with full-week amplitude at 53.68%. ## Key Events The week’s main story was Amphenol’s 31 August approval of a 2-for-1 stock split, executed through a stock dividend. On 2 September, reports said AI data-centre orders had hit record highs, briefly testing the $164 level, but trading diverged sharply in the second half of the week. The stock fell intraday on both 2 September and 3 September, and on 3 September it touched a 52-week low. By 4 September, reports confirmed the split had been completed. Goldman Sachs kept its buy rating on 31 August. There were no other material company filings this week; the split and the AI data-centre order momentum defined the narrative. ## Analyst Ratings Across 17 covering institutions, 11 rate the stock a buy, 4 rate it overweight and 2 rate it hold, with no sell or underweight ratings. The consensus rating is strong buy, with a consensus target price of $99.15, implying about 19.77% upside versus the last price. Target prices range from $85 to $115, a fairly tight band. Within the electronic-components industry, Amphenol ranks 2nd out of 22 companies, near the top of the peer group. ## The Week Ahead On the macro side, the US NFIB small business optimism index lands on 8 September, followed on 10 September by initial jobless claims, PPI data, 10-year Treasury auction results and existing home sales. For Amphenol itself, the next earnings event is fiscal Q3 2026 results on 28 October, which will show whether the AI data-centre order strength carries through and how the stock split affects per-share figures. ## In Short Amphenol’s stock fell sharply this week even as the company approved a split and reported record AI data-centre orders, creating tension between price action and the news flow. The analyst side remains supportive, with a strong buy consensus and a target price roughly 20% above spot, while the latest session’s flows show heavier selling pressure among medium and small orders. Valuation is also elevated, with P/E around 39.69x and P/B around 13.18x. The key question ahead is whether post-split liquidity and the AI order run-rate hold up when third-quarter earnings arrive. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [APH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/APH.US.md) - [APHU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/APHU.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Foxconn unit FIT Hon Teng secures Amphenol patent license for high-speed backplane connectors](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298155856.md) - [Amphenol announces 2-for-1 stock split via stock dividend](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295103564.md) - [AI agents keep finding ways to bend the rules.
