Amkor Technology, Inc.
Amkor shares rose 8.5% after earnings, with investors responding to record Computing and Automotive and Industrial revenue, expanding margins and customer commitments supporting advanced-packaging investment. The outlook also signals continuing pressure in Communications and Consumer from component shortages and other supply-related factors.
Key takeaways
- Q3 revenue was $1.99 billion, up 5% sequentially; Computing and Automotive and Industrial each reached record revenue and grew 37% year over year.
- Gross margin topped 18% and operating margin topped 11%.
- Communications revenue declined 8% sequentially. Management cited SiP migration to Vietnam, memory constraints, build-pattern changes and component shortages affecting premium smartphones and IoT wearables; it expects these conditions to continue in Q4.
- An additional hyperscaler HDFO CPU program began ramping in Q3; two networking and data-center 2.5D programs are expected to come online in Q4.
- Amkor announced Phase 2 of its Arizona campus, bringing planned investment across both phases to $12 billion; the new phase is expected to break ground in late 2027.
