(AMKR) Q2 2026 — Amkor Technology (NASDAQ: AMKR) — the world's #2 outsourced semiconductor assembly & test (OSAT) company and a key advanced-packaging supplier for AI compute — reported Q2 2026 (quarter ended June 30, 2026) after the close on July 27. It was a RECORD beat-and-raise: revenue of $1.90B (a record, +26% YoY from $1.51B, +13% sequentially) beat the ~$1.81B consensus, and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.70 crushed the ~$0.45 estimate by more than 55% (up from $0.22 a year ago). Gross margin expanded to 16.8% (from 12.0% a year ago, +480 bps), operating income doubled to $200M, EBITDA rose to $400M (from $259M), and net income attributable to Amkor was $174M (vs $54M). The beat was led by RECORD Computing revenue (AI data-center demand) and a RECORD in Automotive & Industrial; Communications (smartphones/Android) was the soft spot. Q3 2026 guidance was strong on the bottom line — revenue $1.95-2.05B, gross margin guided UP to 18.5-19.5%, net income $180-205M, and EPS $0.72-0.82 (vs ~$0.64 consensus) — yet the stock FELL ~6.5% on the day (to ~$60.71, ~37% below its $96.68 52-week high). Two reasons: the revenue-guide midpoint (~$2.0B) sat slightly below the most optimistic ~$2.09B whispers, and — the bigger overhang — Amkor guided FULL-YEAR 2026 CAPEX to $2.5-3.0B (more than DOUBLE FY2025's ~$0.9B), roughly two-thirds for the first phase of its Arizona advanced-packaging campus (next to TSMC). That capex dwarfs the ~$1.3B of operating cash flow, so free cash flow swings NEGATIVE this year even amid record earnings — funded by the ~$2.5B cash balance and ~$1B of new debt (cash and total debt now both ~$2.5B, roughly net-neutral).
