AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

Amkor is an outsourced chip packaging and test business, a cyclical toll booth rather than a designer of silicon. I see scale and 30,800 employees, but the numbers show only modest returns: FairStock's ROCE is 4.62% and ROE 12.51%. In fiscal 2025, the year ended 2025-12-31, Amkor reported revenue of $6.7B, net income of $373.9M, and diluted EPS of $1.50. That was only a small improvement over fiscal 2024, the year ended 2024-12-31, with $6.3B, $354.0M, and $1.43, and barely above fiscal 2023, the year ended 2023-12-31, with $6.5B, $359.8M, and $1.46—hardly a compounding machine. More recently, fiscal Q1 2026, the quarter ended 2026-03-31, filed revenue of $1.7B, net income of $83.4M, and diluted EPS of $0.33, versus fiscal Q1 2025, the quarter ended 2025-03-31, revenue of $1.3B, net income of $21.1M, and EPS of $0.09, so the cycle is clearly improving from a weak base. Still, trailing free cash flow is -$172.4M, a -1.5% FCF yield, and debt/equity is 0.57; that tempers the recovery story. At the 2026-10-13 close of $47.61, FairStock calculates a P/E of 21.35, P/B of 2.54, EV/EBITDA of 9.22, and PEG of 0.10. The Graham Number is $30.67, leaving a -55.23% margin of safety, and the FairStock Score is 38/100. Piotroski is 6/9 and Altman Z is 2.39—decent but not fortress-like. Lynch's computed category is CYCLICAL; earnings follow the economic cycle. I want to buy cyclical assets when they are hated and cheap, not when price sits well above conservative asset-based value. At this price, the optimism is already visible.

In plain English: Amkor packages and tests chips for semiconductor companies. The business is recovering from a weak stretch, but it has been spending more cash than it brings in and does not earn high profits for the money invested. At the recent price, the shares look expensive compared with the company's profits and net assets.
