Amkor Technology Inc. (AMKR) saw its stock price decrease by 8.90%, hitting a 5-day low. This decline occurred as the broader market faced challenges, with the Nasdaq-100 down 0.37% and the S&P 500 down 0.66%.
The drop in AMKR's stock price is attributed to broad market weakness, as indicated by the overall performance of major indices. The significant options trading volume of 15,618 contracts, equating to about 1.6 million underlying shares, reflects heightened investor activity, but does not indicate a positive catalyst for the stock itself.
Investors may need to consider the implications of this price movement, particularly in light of the broader market trends. The current market conditions suggest a cautious approach, as the stock's performance may continue to be influenced by external factors.
Wall Street analysts forecast AMKR stock price to fall over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for AMKR is 42.14 USD with a low forecast of 28.00 USD and a high forecast of 62.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

Goldman Sachs raised the firm's price target on Amkor Technology to $38 from $29 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Investors are expected to focus on Amkor's utilization recovery, cost-reduction impact on margins, and 2.5D-related revenue growth, with optimism around Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate spending, the analyst says. Key areas of attention include 2.5D revenue into 2H26, gross margin trends, particularly from Japan footprint rationalization and mainstream recovery, and timing/funding for the new Arizona facility, the firm adds.

Needham raised the firm's price target on Amkor Technology to $50 from $37 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm upped its 2026 artificial intelligence wafer demand forecast citing strong graphics processing unit and application-specific integrated circuit "upsides that emerged over the past quarter." Needham says the long-range chip-on-wafer-on-substrate demand should have a much higher peak than previously thought. It sees Amkor as a "clear CoWoS winner over the next five years."
