Needham raises Amkor Technology stock price target to $37 on automotive growth

Investing.com - Needham raised its price target on Amkor Technology (NASDAQ:AMKR) to $37.00 from $32.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the semiconductor packaging company. The stock, currently trading near its 52-week high of $33.54, has seen an impressive 80.41% return over the past six months, with a market capitalization of $8.2 billion.

The price target increase follows Amkor’s latest earnings report, which showed both revenue and earnings per share slightly exceeding the high end of the company’s guidance. The strong performance was driven by broad-based strength across all of Amkor’s reporting segments. According to InvestingPro, the company maintains a "Good" financial health score of 2.59, despite operating with relatively weak gross margins of 13.58%.

Needham highlighted improvements in both Computing and Automotive segments, with some of this strength expected to continue into calendar year 2026. The firm specifically identified automotive growth as a key driver for its revised outlook. With annual revenue of $6.32 billion and a P/E ratio of 27.12x, InvestingPro analysis reveals 12+ additional insights about Amkor’s valuation and growth prospects.

Needham also noted that Amkor management sees medium to long-term opportunities in mobile applications processors, radio frequency components, and advanced packaging technologies including 2.5D, high-density fan-out, and embedded bridge solutions, even before the company’s new Arizona facility becomes operational.
