The risk/reward on the shares of Benchmark Electronics’ (BHE; $30.04; O/P) still looks attractive to us ahead of the company’s Q1 results and Q2E outlook in coming weeks, especially with the stock trading at only…
We continue to wonder if Amkor Technology’s (AMKR; $30.10; E/W) Q1 results and Q2E outlook, scheduled for April 29th (after market), are limited more than originally expected by a generally high exposure to still challenging…
Sanmina shares (SANM; $58.35; O/P) are -16% from 52-week highs and -10% since we launched coverage (“Still Attractively Priced EMS Play; Initiate with Outperform”; 3/5). We think this is likely on concerns that sales from…
This week, we are spending time at what appears to be a very well attended Data Center World in Washington D.C. where we had the opportunity already to hear from and chat with managers representing…
We assume Amphenol (APH; $113.32; E/W) highlights a still “mixed bag” of end markets when it reports Q1 results and offers up Q2E guidance on April 24th (before market). However, we believe management was appropriately…
We think TE Connectivity (TEL; $142.98; O/P) can produce a solid “beat and raise” with its FQ2E (Mar) when it reports on April 24th (before market). More to the point, we think TEL is well…
The shares of Seagate (STX; $85.19; E/W) are -10% since it “only” reiterated FQ3E (Mar) sales and EPS guidance of $1.5-1.8B (+6% QoQ and -11% YoY at the mid-point) and $0.05-0.45 back on March 6th….
We reiterate our Outperform on Western Digital (WDC; $72.06) and raise our target from $80 to $85 ahead of its FQ3E (Mar) results, scheduled for April 25th (after market). We recently raised our F2024/F2025E (Jun)…

Stocks in our tech supply chain coverage are +7% YTD and +35% YoY on average as a broadening set of cyclical recoveries were further priced in for H2. Along those lines, we expect CQ1 EPS season…
This morning, Lucid Group (LCID; $2.73; E/W) announced it delivered 1,967 vehicles (+13% QoQ and +40% YoY), while producing 1,728 vehicles (-28% QoQ and -25% YoY) during Q1. By comparison, our model called for Q1…

We see Flex’s (FLEX; $29.11; O/P) cloud data center portfolio, led by its in-house power solutions, as still well underrepresented in current valuations (12X F2025E EPS). To that end, we note an ongoing rally in…
