Amphenol sees third-quarter revenue below estimates on weak equipment demand
Rewrites throughout
July 24 (Reuters) -Electronic equipment maker Amphenol APH.N forecast third-quarter revenue below market estimates on Wednesday, as customers across broadband and industrial markets scale back on spending in the face of high borrowing costs.
Shares of the Wallingford, Connecticut-based company fell 4.2% in early trading.
Amphenol makes equipment such as interconnect systems, sensors and antennas that are used in automobile, industrial and defense sectors.
Network operators and wireless equipment manufacturers, which are some of the biggest customers of Amphenol, are cutting back on communication equipment orders after a surge in demand in the past two years to upgrade to 5G networks.
With the acquisition of Carlisle Interconnect Technologies and its recent plan to buy outdoor wireless network and antenna systems business from CommScope COMM.O for $2.1 billion, Amphenol has been on an acquisition spree to broaden its existing portfolio.
Automakers have also cut production targets, resulting in weak demand for equipment including antennas, engine management systems and sensing systems used in the industrial market.
Amphenol forecast third-quarter revenue in the range of $3.70 billion to $3.80 billion, the mid-point of which is below analysts' expectations of $3.71 billion, according to LSEG data.
It posted revenue of $3.61 billion for the three months ended June 30, compared with an estimate of $3.4 billion, according to LSEG data.
On an adjusted basis, Amphenol expects profit in the range of 43 cents to 45 cents, the mid-point of which is in line with analysts' estimates.
Amphenol's board approved a 50% rise in quarterly dividend to 16 cents from 11 cents, which will be paid on Oct. 9.
