Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AMKR

10/26/2026: AMKR (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Amkor Technology is a major player in the semiconductor industry, providing outsourced packaging and testing services that are vital to the chip manufacturing ecosystem. The company has a leading position in advanced packaging technologies, which are increasingly crucial for high-performance computing and mobile applications. Its primary investment story centers on capturing demand from the growth of AI and automotive sectors. However, investors should monitor risks related to its cyclical nature, intense global competition, and customer concentration. While the stock may suit value-oriented investors due to its dividend and reasonable valuation, it remains susceptible to broader semiconductor market volatility and capital-intensive operational challenges.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AMKR receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AMKR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+5.6%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 2.8%), moderate revenue growth (+6.2%), soft profitability (net margin 5.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AMKR's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (2.8% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is AMKR's strongest growth driver at +6.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-44.7%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 48.7% and approximately 43.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 49.91% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AMKR generates approximately $140 of gross profit, $70 of operating income, and $28 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 15.41%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AMKR has a High Volatility Profile profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
