AI Insight: APH Financial Trends

Strong revenue growth and operating leverage mask a dramatic debt surge following Q4 2025, raising capital structure concerns.

AI Insight: APH Ratio Trends

Amphenol's profitability collapsed in Q1 2026, with operating margin falling 2.8pp and NPM dropping 6.4pp, signaling a sharp sequential deterioration.

ROE and ROA both fell sharply in Q1 2026—ROE to 26.7% from 35.6%, ROA to 8.9% from 13.2%.

Elevated leverage (D/E 1.34) combined with margin pressure warrants monitoring of balance-sheet stress signals.
