Amkor Technology, a leading semiconductor manufacturer, announced its first quarter 2024 results, reporting a revenue of $1.37 billion, which was down 7.2% from the same period in 2023. However, the company’s net income increased by 30% to $58.9 million, with a profit margin of 4.3% (up from 3.1% in 1Q 2023). The rise in profit margin was attributed to lower expenses, leading to an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.24, up from $0.18 in the previous year.
Despite the revenue being in line with analyst estimates, the EPS surpassed expectations by 123%. Looking forward, Amkor Technology is forecasted to experience a 7.7% annual growth in revenue over the next three years, compared to a 17% growth forecast for the Semiconductor industry in the US. The company’s performance has led to a 9.8% increase in its shares from a week ago.
Amkor Technology has been performing well and has been experiencing growth despite challenges faced by the industry as a whole. However, investors should be aware of two potential risks associated with investing in this company: increased competition and supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions between major trading partners such as China and the US.
While these risks exist, it is important for investors to consider Amkor Technology’s strengths and opportunities before making any investment decisions based on this information alone.
