Amphenol's 0.97% Rally Driven by Resilient Sector Positioning $810M Volume Ranks 144th in Market Activity

On October 6, 2025, Amphenol (APH) closed with a 0.97% gain, trading with a $0.81 billion volume that ranked 144th in market activity. The stock's performance followed developments in supply chain dynamics and industrial sector positioning, with analysts noting its resilience amid sector-wide volatility.

Recent reports highlighted Amphenol's strategic focus on expanding its connector solutions for renewable energy and aerospace applications. The company has been securing contracts in high-growth segments, which industry observers suggest could bolster long-term revenue visibility despite near-term macroeconomic uncertainties. Supply chain optimizations and cost management initiatives were also emphasized in recent disclosures.

Technical indicators showed accumulation phases developing in key support zones, though analysts cautioned that broader market trends could influence near-term momentum.

To run this back-test accurately I’ll need a bit more detail so I can set up the data-pull and portfolio construction correctly: 1. Market universe • Do you want to screen the entire U.S. common-stock universe (≈ 5 000 names) or limit it to a subset (e.g., only stocks in the Russell 3000, S&P 1500, etc.)? • Are ADRs, ETFs and penny stocks (< $1) excluded? 2. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or weight by something else (e.g., proportional to dollar volume)? • Rebalance every trading day (sell yesterday’s basket at today’s open/close and buy today’s top-volume list)? 3. Transaction assumptions • Slippage model and commission per share (if any) to apply, or assume frictionless trading? 4. Reference price • Use closing prices only, or enter at next day’s open and exit at close (or both at close)? Once I have these points I can generate the daily baskets, run the test from 2022-01-03 to the latest trading day, and report cumulative return, daily returns, Sharpe, max drawdown, turnover, etc.
