Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMKR) defied analyst predictions to release its quarterly results, which were ahead of market expectations. The company beat expectations with revenues of US$1.3b arriving 3.6% ahead of forecasts. Statutory earnings per share (EPS) were US$0.09, 5.3% ahead of estimates. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.
Taking into account the latest results, Amkor Technology's nine analysts currently expect revenues in 2025 to be US$6.21b, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are forecast to shrink 7.8% to US$1.18 in the same period. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$6.21b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$1.39 in 2025. The analysts seem to have become more bearish following the latest results. While there were no changes to revenue forecasts, there was a substantial drop in EPS estimates.

The average price target fell 11% to US$24.43, with reduced earnings forecasts clearly tied to a lower valuation estimate. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Amkor Technology at US$34.78 per share, while the most bearish prices it at US$18.00. This is a fairly broad spread of estimates, suggesting that analysts are forecasting a wide range of possible outcomes for the business.
Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 1.3% by the end of 2025. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 6.6% over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 16% annually for the foreseeable future. It's pretty clear that Amkor Technology's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.
