April 29 : Electronic gear maker Amphenol forecast second-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates on Wednesday, betting on enterprise spending for its components used in artificial intelligence data centers.

Shares of the company, which provides interconnect, sensor and antenna solutions for end markets such as automotive, commercial aerospace, defense, industrial and data communications jumped 9.5 per cent in premarket trading.

• Demand for Amphenol's connectors and sensor systems has surged as tech companies aggressively build out data center infrastructure needed to support generative AI workloads.

• The company has continued to expand its technology portfolio through acquisitions, including its $10.5 billion purchase of CommScope's Connectivity and Cable Solutions business in January, which significantly strengthened Amphenol's capabilities in fiber-optic and data-center connectivity products.
