These 10 Firms Topped Wednesday’s Trading

7. Amphenol Corp. (NYSE:APH)

Amphenol Corp. grew its share prices for a second straight day, jumping 10.43 percent at intra-day trading before paring gains to close just 8.21 percent higher at $71.15 apiece as investor sentiment was boosted by its impressive earnings performance in the first quarter of the year.

In a statement, APH said it achieved a 34.8-percent increase in net income in the first three months of the year at $744.2 million versus the $552 million registered in the same period last year, as consolidated net sales increased by 50 percent to $4.8 billion from $3.2 billion year-on-year.

Despite the improved numbers, APH remained cautious about its business outlook for the second quarter of the year amid ongoing market uncertainties.

“Assuming the continuation of current market conditions as well as constant exchange rates, for the second quarter of 2025, [APH] expects sales to be in the range of $4.9 billion to $5 billion, representing a 36 percent to 39 percent increase over the prior year quarter. Adjusted Diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.64 to $0.66, representing a 45 percent to 50 percent increase from the second quarter of 2024,” it said.

APH designs and manufactures electrical, electronic, and fiber optic connectors and interconnect systems, antennas, sensors and sensor-based products, and coaxial and high-speed specialty cables.
