Amphenol's 0.74% Rally Backed by Defense and Industrial Demand $910M Volume Lands It 144th in Liquidity Ranking

Amphenol (APH) rose 0.74% on October 1, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.91 billion, ranking 144th among stocks in terms of liquidity. The move followed reports of sustained demand for its connectivity solutions in defense and industrial sectors, which have supported its market position despite broader market volatility.

Recent updates highlighted Amphenol’s ability to secure long-term contracts with key clients, reinforcing its revenue stability. Analysts noted that its focus on high-margin segments, such as aerospace and medical electronics, has insulated it from short-term cyclical pressures. However, the company’s exposure to supply chain constraints in its manufacturing hubs remains a risk factor for near-term growth.

To make sure the back-test aligns precisely with your requirements, several parameters need confirmation: 1) Should the universe include all U.S. common stocks listed on NYSE and NASDAQ, or another market? 2) Will the portfolio be equally weighted across 500 names for a one-day holding period, or use an alternative weighting method? 3) Trade execution should follow a close-to-close convention for daily rebalancing, or require adjustments? 4) Should transaction costs and slippage be excluded for initial testing, or incorporated with standard assumptions? If the default settings—U.S. market, equal weighting, close-to-close pricing, and no explicit costs—are acceptable, the back-test setup can proceed immediately.
