Amphenol reported record results for the third quarter 2026, significantly exceeding consensus estimates on both revenue and earnings. Sales reached $10.23 billion, a 65% increase year-over-year, while adjusted diluted EPS rose 74% to $0.80. The performance was driven by exceptional organic growth in the IT datacom end market and the successful integration of the CommScope acquisition, which is outperforming initial accretion targets.
