American Century Small Cap Value Fund Jeff John, Ryan Cope | “Amkor Technology. This provider of assembly and testing services to chipmakers has benefited from signs of recovery in end markets and from its growing focus on artificial intelligence packaging solutions. We believe the push to make chips domestically has been beneficial to Amkor as it is one of two companies in the U.S. capable of providing large-scale advanced packaging solutions. BSD Analysis: Amkor is a pure-play on advanced semiconductor packaging, a part of the chip value chain gaining importance as scaling slows. Chiplets, AI accelerators, and heterogeneous integration all push more value downstream. The business is cyclical, but the secular trend is undeniable. Customer concentration is high, which magnifies both upside and risk. Capex requirements are heavy, but returns improve when utilization tightens. Pricing power increases as packaging complexity rises. This is not foundry competition — it's specialization. Amkor works when volumes normalize and technology matters. Volatility is the entry price.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund Josef Lakonishok, Menno Vermeulen, Puneet Mansharamani, Greg Sleight, Guy Lakonishok, Gal Skarishevsky | “We trimmed our position in Amkor Technology in the Information Technology sector. Amkor has done well in recent years, benefiting from the surging demand in AI and as a result has become less attractive from a valuation standpoint. While the stock still generates good cash flow, both earnings and cash flow have not kept up with the increase in stock price. Stock price momentum has been very strong but the decline in fundamentals (valuation) led us to sell the position. BSD Analysis: Amkor sits at the center of advanced semiconductor packaging, a segment growing more critical as chip complexity increases. Outsourced assembly and test isn't glamorous, but it's essential to performance and yield. AI, advanced packaging, and heterogeneous integration increase content per device. Investors treat Amkor like a commodity outsourcer and miss the technology upgrade cycle. Margins expand as mix shifts toward high-end packaging. Capital intensity is real, but customer dependence is growing. This is semiconductor infrastructure paid by physics, not hype.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
