Amphenol Corporation has agreed to acquire CommScope Holding Company's Connectivity and Cable Solutions business for $10.5 billion. CommScope's Q2 sales rose 31.7% to $1.39 billion, beating estimates. The deal is expected to strengthen Amphenol's position in the broadband connectivity market.

Amphenol Corporation has agreed to acquire CommScope Holding Company's Connectivity and Cable Solutions (CCS) business for $10.5 billion in cash. The acquisition, which is expected to close in the first half of 2026, aims to expand Amphenol's interconnect product capabilities and diversify its portfolio in the fast-growing IT datacom and communications networks markets [3].

CommScope's Q2 sales rose 31.7% to $1.39 billion, beating estimates and highlighting the company's robust performance in the network infrastructure sector. The sale of its CCS division is part of CommScope's broader strategy to streamline operations and strengthen its balance sheet, following aggressive acquisitions and the economic turbulence brought about by the global pandemic [2].

The CCS business, which operates as three distinct businesses—Data Center Connectivity Solutions, Broadband Communications, and Building Connectivity Solutions—will add significant fiber optic interconnect capabilities to Amphenol's existing product offerings. The acquisition is expected to generate sales and EBITDA margins of approximately $3.6 billion and 26% in 2025, respectively, and will be accretive to Amphenol's diluted earnings per share in the first full year after closing [3].

Amphenol intends to finance the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and debt, with committed financing obtained from J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BNP Paribas, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. [3].
