QRFT · Weight decrease · 2d
Currently priced at $164.59, APH trades at 93% of its 52-week high, having delivered a 30-day return of 33.8% and a 1-year return of 75.4%. This upward trajectory suggests strong momentum, a factor Qraft AI considers, but may also raise questions regarding its valuation in the context of other traditional factors. With a PER of 47.38 and PBR of 12.33, despite its 54.4% revenue growth and 34.73% ROE, APH’s valuation metrics likely triggered a re-evaluation by QRFT's AI, particularly given its focus on value, quality, and low-volatility alongside momentum. Following a weight increase to 0.47% on June 30th, the consecutive daily decreases to 0.46% on July 1st and 0.44% on July 2nd indicate the AI's algorithm adjusted its position as the stock approached the higher end of its recent range, suggesting QRFT's blend of traditional factors and proprietary alternative data found reasons to trim exposure to APH at these elevated price levels.

QRFT · Weight increase · 2d
Amphenol (APH) exhibits 54.4% revenue growth and a 34.73% return on equity. These figures strongly align with Qraft AI's methodology for QRFT, which blends traditional factors like quality and momentum, indicating the system's focus on companies demonstrating both significant expansion and profitability despite the elevated PER of 40.44 and PBR of 12.33. The consecutive weight increase in APH on June 8th and 9th, pushing the allocation from 0.38% to 0.42%, occurred as the stock traded at 93% of its 52-week high, following a 7.2% price rise over the previous 30 days. This timing suggests the Qraft AI, utilizing its proprietary alternative-data overlays, identified continued upward momentum and fundamental strength in APH. The decision to allocate more capital to APH at $154.07, even after a 74.8% 1-year return, reflects the system's conviction in the stock's ongoing trajectory, beyond simply chasing a lower valuation.

QRFT · Accumulation · 6d
The detected pattern for APH in QRFT reveals a consistent, measured accumulation, with weight incrementally increasing by 0.01% to 0.02% on most trading days from late May into early June. This gradual cadence aligns with Qraft AI’s broad large-cap core approach, potentially leveraging its proprietary alternative-data overlays to slowly build a position in Amphenol, especially as the stock recently saw slight pullbacks (30-day return of -2.3%) from its recent highs. Despite the stock currently trading at $148.40, near 89% of its 52-week high, Qraft's AI likely identifies APH's underlying strength, given its 54.4% revenue growth and 34.73% ROE, which align with quality and momentum factors inherent in the fund's methodology. The weekly rebalancing mechanism of QRFT allows for these persistent, small adjustments to accumulate a higher conviction allocation to a company exhibiting such strong fundamentals within the Information Technology sector.

QRFT · Accumulation · 5d
Amphenol (APH) currently trades at $146.34, representing 88% of its 52-week high of $166.25, following a 69.4% gain over the past year, though it experienced recent pullbacks of -4.2% and -4.0% in its 30-day and 90-day returns respectively. Against this backdrop, Qraft Technologies' AI-driven QRFT, which blends traditional factors like quality and momentum with proprietary alternative-data overlays, initiated a gradual accumulation of APH. The fund’s model likely identified APH’s high revenue growth of 54.4% and a 34.73% return on equity as key quality indicators, perceiving a buying opportunity during the recent price dip despite its 40.1 PER and 12.33 PBR. This led to a measured increase in the stock's weight within the portfolio, from 0.3200% to 0.3800% over the specified period, reflecting the AI's iterative adjustments during its weekly rebalances, potentially triggered by signals from its alternative data confirming a favorable entry point.

QRFT · Accumulation · 6d
Qraft AI, which manages QRFT by combining traditional factors with proprietary alternative data overlays, initiated a measured accumulation of Amphenol Corp. The fund’s weekly rebalance schedule and broad large-cap core style, covering around 300 US large caps, facilitate such incremental portfolio adjustments. This consistent buying activity, increasing APH's weight from 0.31% to 0.38% over several days, suggests the AI’s models are detecting sustained positive signals for the company. Amphenol's significant 54.4% revenue growth likely contributes to its appeal within QRFT's selection methodology, signaling fundamental strength the AI is continuing to capture.

QRFT · Accumulation · 5d
Amphenol (APH) currently sits at $148.76, near 89% of its 52-week high, following a substantial 71.2% 1-year return, even amidst recent 30-day and 90-day pullbacks. This price action, combined with Amphenol’s 54.4% revenue growth and 34.73% ROE, likely informed Qraft AI’s decision to gradually accumulate the stock. The Qraft AI, which incorporates traditional factors like momentum and quality with proprietary alternative data, appears to view the recent minor retracement as an entry opportunity for this large-cap core fund. Its steady increase in weight from 0.3200% to 0.3700% between May 18 and May 28, 2026, suggests the system interprets APH’s financial strength, despite its PER of 40.98 and PBR of 12.33, as a compelling attribute aligning with its factor-based and alternative data-driven methodology.

QRFT · Weight increase · 3d
The Qraft AI-managed QRFT, which combines traditional factors with proprietary alternative-data overlays across its portfolio of approximately 300 US large caps, initiated a consecutive weight increase in Amphenol Corp. This sustained buying, observed through its weekly rebalancing cycles, suggests the AI detected positive signals for APH's strong fundamentals despite its current price being 84% of its 52-week high. Amphenol's revenue growth of 54.4% likely served as a significant driver, indicating underlying business momentum that the fund's AI prioritizes. This deliberate accumulation of APH, even with a 90-day return of -9.2%, aligns with QRFT's core objective to identify compelling opportunities within its diversified large-cap universe.

QRFT · Weight increase · 2d
The Qraft AI, which combines traditional factors with proprietary alternative-data overlays, drove the consecutive weight increases for Amphenol in QRFT, a fund rebalancing its approximately 300 US large-cap portfolio weekly. This systematic adjustment, seen from May 22nd to May 26th, indicates the AI identified a compelling signal for the Information Technology company. The model likely factored in Amphenol's significant 54.4% revenue growth alongside its recent price retracement, which saw a -6.2% 30-day return. Such a precise movement reflects QRFT’s broad large-cap core style with an AI tilt, adjusting allocations based on dynamic quantitative insights rather than solely fundamental shifts.

AIEQ · Exit · 1d
The weight-change history for APH in AIEQ reveals a period of small, consistent allocation around 0.1000-0.1100% before an abrupt, full removal on July 1st. This rapid disengagement directly reflects AIEQ's strategy of daily rebalancing and high turnover, driven by IBM Watson's real-time NLP analysis. APH's recent market performance, including a 44.5% 30-day return and trading at 98% of its 52-week high of $176.32, could have triggered a shift in sentiment or fundamental signals. The fund’s hybrid approach, blending fundamentals like APH’s 47.38 PER and 12.33 PBR with sentiment gleaned from news and social posts, likely led to a re-ranking. Consequently, EquBot's risk overlay, designed to convert daily rankings into positions, found the stock less compelling at its elevated price level, prompting its immediate exit from the 140-180 stock portfolio.

AIEQ · Sudden change · 1d
AIEQ, with its unique daily rebalancing schedule and reliance on IBM Watson NLP ingesting vast amounts of data, executed a swift position adjustment for Amphenol. The fund's AI manager, which maintains a portfolio of 140-180 US stocks, likely detected a material shift in sentiment or fundamental indicators concerning APH. This explains the dramatic reduction in weight from 0.51% to 0.09% on May 30th, following a period of modest accumulation. Despite Amphenol's 54.4% revenue growth, its recent 90-day return of -3.8% may have, in conjunction with other signals, triggered a re-evaluation within the AI's hybrid fundamentals and sentiment model.

AIEQ · Weight increase · 2d
AIEQ has shown a gradual, stepped increase in its APH weighting, moving from 0.45% to 0.48% over several days, with the most recent changes reflecting consecutive daily additions. This cautious accumulation aligns with AIEQ's strategy, which integrates IBM Watson's NLP insights daily, allowing it to respond to shifts in both market sentiment and fundamental data. Amphenol Corp's 54.4% revenue growth and 34.73% ROE present a compelling fundamental picture, which, when combined with a recent 9-10% price pullback from its 90-day high, could be interpreted as an attractive entry point by the AI system. The fund’s daily rebalancing mechanism likely allowed for these precise, incremental adjustments as the AI's internal ranking of APH improved, reflecting a renewed positive outlook after a period of price softening.

Trading at $152.46, just 92% of its 52-week high of $166.25 and after a significant 1-year return of +69.5%, Amphenol Corporation was removed from the PQUS portfolio on June 12, 2026. This divestment by Pictet Asset Management's AI-driven system, which rebalances periodically based on US large-cap rankings, indicates a reassessment despite the company's 54.4% revenue growth and 34.73% ROE. The AI's ranking algorithm, layered with sector-balance and concentration rules, likely flagged the Information Technology stock's valuation, considering its PER of 41.21 and PBR of 12.33. PQUS's measured turnover style accommodates such tactical adjustments when its quantitative system signals a shift in a holding's relative appeal.

AMOM · Exit · 1d
Qraft's AMOM, employing a multi-signal momentum composite designed to select names expected to extend their upward runs rather than simply holding top performers, removed APH from its concentrated portfolio. This fund’s weekly rebalancing mechanism triggered the divestment of Amphenol Corp. After steadily increasing APH's weight to 2.47% by May 29th, the position was entirely divested to 0.00% by June 2nd. This decision aligns with the fund's mandate to identify companies with ongoing positive price trends, as APH's recent 30-day return of -2.3% indicates a reversal from its earlier momentum. Operating a concentrated portfolio of approximately 50 US large caps means each position change, like this full removal, reflects a conviction that the prior momentum signals for APH are no longer favorable for extending its run.

AMOM · Accumulation · 5d
APH's 54.4% revenue growth and 34.73% return on equity present a strong fundamental momentum profile, aligning with AMOM's multi-signal methodology that picks names expected to extend their runs. The concentrated momentum sleeve of Qraft's AMOM ETF emphasizes conviction in its portfolio changes for APH, given its high P/E of 40.1 and P/B of 12.33, indicating a growth-oriented selection. This financial strength likely factored into AMOM's decision to gradually accumulate APH, increasing its weight from 2.14% on May 20 to 2.47% by May 28. This period of accumulation coincided with APH's recent 30-day return of -4.2% and 90-day return of -4.0%, positioning the increase in weight as the stock traded below its 52-week high of $166.25, currently at 88% of that peak. The rebalancing on June 1, which saw a slight dip to 2.41%, suggests the Qraft algorithm maintains weekly vigilance on its signals, adapting positions even after a period of determined buying, reflecting its non-mechanical approach to momentum.

APH's financial profile, featuring a 40.89 PER, 12.33 PBR, 54.4% revenue growth, and 34.73% ROE, provides a basis for its inclusion within AMOM's multi-signal momentum composite. These metrics indicate a company with considerable fundamental momentum and a capacity for generating earnings, aligning with Qraft's strategy of selecting names expected to extend their market runs. The gradual accumulation of APH's weight, increasing from 2.1100% to 2.4700% between May 19th and May 29th, happened while the stock traded at $148.76. This period saw APH sitting at 89% of its 52-week high, after short-term pullbacks of -1.5% over 30 days and -3.8% over 90 days, following a 71.2% 1-year return. Given AMOM's concentrated momentum sleeve, this measured increase suggests the AI identified an opportune moment to build conviction on a stock exhibiting short-term consolidation within a powerful long-term trend, predicting an extension of its upward movement.

Such a measured increase reflects the concentrated momentum sleeve's conviction-driven rebalancing process for its ~50 US large caps, rather than a mechanical top-quintile holding.

The sustained weight adjustment, characteristic of a concentrated momentum sleeve, indicates growing conviction in APH's ability to resume its upward trajectory.

Buffett-style framework
One AI ETF (AIEQ) recently exited its position in Amphenol, aligning with the framework's 'Fail' verdict due to the lack of a margin of safety at current valuation levels. However, another AI ETF (QRFT) still holds a minor position, suggesting mixed views among AI-managed portfolios regarding its continued value.
- Circle of CompetenceAmphenol's business in electronic components, sensors, and interconnects, while technical, exhibits predictable unit economics across diverse, long-lifecycle end markets, allowing for reasonable projection of future cash flows.
- Economic MoatThe company likely benefits from strong switching costs due to its highly engineered and critical components, scale advantages in manufacturing and R&D, and deep integration with customer designs.
- ManagementInformation regarding management's candor, capital allocation discipline, and skin in the game is not available in the provided data.
- Financial HealthAmphenol demonstrates exceptional current financial performance with a very high ROE of 34.73%, suggesting strong underlying profitability, though full historical data for a complete 10-year assessment of all criteria is not provided.
- Margin of SafetyThe extremely high P/E ratio of 47.38, P/B of 12.33, and EV/EBITDA of 48.84 indicate that the current market price offers no discernible margin of safety, even for a high-quality business.
Amphenol appears to be a fundamentally sound business operating within the circle of competence, possessing a durable economic moat, and demonstrating excellent financial health with high returns on equity. However, the current market valuation significantly reduces any margin of safety, leading to a 'Fail' verdict within this value investing framework. While it may be a wonderful company, its present price makes it an unsuitable investment for an approach focused on buying at a discount to intrinsic value.
