The Quality factor evaluates the persistence and magnitude of realized cash flows. Companies with scores >70 exhibit superior pricing power and structural financial resilience through diverse economic regimes.
Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
Our model assigns AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 63.2/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #407 of 7,333 stocks, AMKR presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 54/100, AMKR shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 7.2% (sector avg: -2.5%), gross margins of 13.2% (sector avg: 42.5%), net margins of 4.6% (sector avg: -0.2%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
AMKR carries a solid value score of 78/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 36.34x, an EV/EBITDA of 27.46x, a P/B ratio of 2.63x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.'s investment score of 39/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 36.0% vs. a sector average of 5.9% and a return on assets of 4.0% (sector: -0.1%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
AMKR shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 86/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 36.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.04 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
AMKR's stability score of 44/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.04 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 81.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
AMKR carries a short interest score of 73/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.04), elevated leverage (D/E: 81.00x). At $7.0B market cap (mid-cap), AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
AMKR pays a solid dividend yield of 2.6%, contributing an income component to total returns. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #407 of 7,333 overall (94th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 7.2% exceeding the -2.5% sector median and operating margins of 6.1% above the 1.3% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While AMKR currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF SEP 30, 2025 (Q2 FY2025)
We rate AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. (AMKR) as a Hold with a composite score of 63.2/100 at a current price of $48.71. The stock presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to warrant new accumulation nor weak enough to justify selling for existing holders. Our factors are split, and the overall profile suggests patience is warranted.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in momentum (86th percentile) and value (78th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in investment (39th percentile) and stability (44th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a Narrow Moat rating (68/100), High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation.
Key items to watch: sustainability of the current growth rate. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 63.2/100 places it at rank #407 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $7.0B in market capitalization, AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. is a mid-cap player in the Manufacturing space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
The near-term outlook is constructive, with revenue growing at 36% and momentum in the 86th percentile confirming positive market sentiment and institutional accumulation. The combination of strong top-line growth and favorable price dynamics suggests the company is executing well on its growth strategy. Investment factor at the 39th percentile indicates reinvestment patterns that investors should monitor for sustainability.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 13% (-29.3pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of 6% (+4.8pp vs sector) and net margins of 4.6%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 35%. This efficient conversion suggests well-controlled operating costs and limited margin leakage between the gross and net levels.
At a current price of $48.71, AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. appears undervalued relative to its fundamentals. Our value factor score of 78/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. The stock screens as attractively priced on a majority of these measures, suggesting the market may be underappreciating the underlying fundamentals.
The stock currently trades at a P/E of 36.3x (a 63% premium to the sector median of 22.3x), EV/EBITDA of 27.5x (at a premium), P/B of 2.6x, P/S of 1.8x. The above-sector P/E multiple suggests the market is pricing in superior growth or quality, which our analysis finds only partially justified by current fundamentals.
Revenue growth of 36% confirms the business is expanding its addressable market — growth at this level typically supports multiple expansion and attracts institutional capital.
A value factor score of 78/100 suggests the market is underpricing these fundamentals, creating a potential margin of safety for new investors.
Positive momentum (86th percentile) indicates institutional accumulation and favorable technical dynamics that tend to persist in the intermediate term.
A 2.59% dividend yield provides income while you wait, and dividends historically account for a significant portion of total equity returns.
A P/E of 36.3x leaves little room for execution misses — any earnings disappointment could trigger a sharp multiple compression.
High beta of 2.04 means amplified losses in market selloffs — in a broad market correction, this stock would likely decline more than the index.
We assign a High uncertainty rating to AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.. Key risk factors include elevated market sensitivity (beta of 2.04), the combination of leverage (81% D/E) and thin margins (4.6% net) amplifies downside risk. The wide range of potential outcomes widens our fair value estimate and increases the possibility of permanent capital impairment. Investors considering this name should size positions accordingly and demand a meaningful margin of safety before initiating.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: elevated market sensitivity (beta of 2.04); the combination of leverage (81% D/E) and thin margins (4.6% net) amplifies downside risk. Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 44th percentile and quality factor at the 54th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
Key risk mitigants include: a 2.59% dividend yield anchors total return. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile warrants caution and disciplined position management.
We rate AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.'s capital allocation as Poor. Key concerns include suboptimal returns on capital. Exemplary capital allocators generate ROE above 20% and maintain conservative leverage — AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. significantly underperforms these benchmarks, raising questions about management's ability to create shareholder value.
Investors should scrutinize management's reinvestment decisions and balance sheet trajectory before committing capital. Poor capital allocation often compounds over time: overlevered balance sheets limit strategic flexibility, while low returns on capital destroy shareholder value. We would need to see sustained improvement in profitability metrics and balance sheet discipline before considering an upgrade.
In summary, AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. receives a Hold rating with a composite score of 63.2/100 (rank #407 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a Narrow Moat (68/100, trend: stable), High uncertainty, and Poor capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 60/100.
Our analysis supports a neutral stance on AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.. While the quantitative profile is not weak enough to warrant selling, it lacks the multi-factor strength required for a buy recommendation. Existing holders should maintain positions and monitor for catalysts — either fundamental improvement or valuation compression — that would shift the risk-reward balance.

We assign AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. a Narrow Moat rating with a composite moat score of 68/100. The ROIC-WACC spread of +111.5% is the primary signal of economic value creation. The company possesses identifiable competitive advantages, though they are less entrenched than those of wide-moat peers. Our analysis indicates that AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. can sustain above-average returns on invested capital for at least 10 years, with the strongest contributor being financial resilience at 18.3/20.
The strongest moat sources are financial resilience (18.3/20) and economic value creation (17.6/20). Interest coverage 22.0x, Net debt/EBITDA 0.7x. ROIC 125.1% vs WACC 13.6% (spread +111.5%). These pillars form the core of AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.'s competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (6.9/20) and margin superiority (10.2/20). Capital turnover 21.21x, R&D intensity 2.5%. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.'s moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include robust top-line growth of 36% expanding the revenue base. The margin cascade from 13% gross to 6% operating to 4.6% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that profit quality is adequate though not exceptional, with the quality factor at the 54th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 13%, operating margins of 6%, net margins of 4.6%. Return metrics include ROE of 7.2% and ROA of 4.0%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, gross margins are 29.3 percentage points below the sector median of 43%, and ROE of 7.2% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
The balance sheet reflects above-average leverage with D/E of 81%, a dividend yield of 2.59%, revenue growth of 36%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. at higher leverage than the typical peer. Overall balance sheet health is adequate for the current business environment.
Elevated short interest (73th percentile) indicates that sophisticated market participants are betting against the stock.

The company guided FY26 revenue growth of 11% and FY27 growth of 16%, supported by cyclical recovery and advanced packaging ramp.
