Amkor Technology shares are sliding after the chip-packaging firm issued weak fourth-quarter revenue guidance that missed Wall Street expectations by a wide margin. Management blamed a major customer’s altered smartphone production plans and persistent double-digit softness in automotive and industrial demand, which overshadowed a modest third-quarter earnings and sales beat.
Analysts are now reassessing their outlooks as near-term demand in Amkor’s communications and mainstream businesses looks softer than hoped, despite the company’s optimism about long-term AI-related packaging growth. The harsher short-term picture has sparked a sharp sell-off, raising doubts about how quickly Amkor can translate its AI narrative into stronger results.
