Amkor Technology Inc

On Thursday, Keybanc analyst Steve Barger downgraded Amkor Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMKR#NASDAQ">AMKR</a>) from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMKR/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overweight to Sector Weight</a>.
The rerating reflects reduced visibility into demand for mobile phones, automobiles, and consumer products, which stems from fluctuating trade policy.

Barger noted that it could exacerbate the expected gross margin pressure in the first half of 2025 due to a temporary socket loss in its Mobile end market and expressed concern about Amkor&#8217;s inherently lower-visibility but relatively high-capex business model.
The analyst noted that shares will likely remain under pressure until major end markets like Automotive and Mobile show signs of stabilization and growth.
Amkor automotive sales generally track the major automotive semiconductor companies, and while consensus estimates indicate a return to growth in the second half of 2025, Barger noted that company commentary combined with volatile global trade rhetoric suggests a cautious approach to shares in the near term.
In a broader upcycle scenario, the analyst noted Amkor should exhibit substantial operating leverage on higher factory utilization, but that will require recovery and growth across high-volume end markets for that to happen.
As one of a handful of outsourced manufacturing companies able to process 2.5D advanced packages with acceptable yield and throughput, Barger noted Amkor will continue to focus on high-performance computing as a margin-accretive and higher-growth vector.
The analyst noted volumes are still too small to drive consolidated company outperformance, absent participation from traditional end markets. Amkor could remain a &#8220;second choice&#8221; for leading-edge chip companies behind the technology leader, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Barger lowered his estimates to reflect heightened uncertainty in global trade and end demand. The analyst&#8217;s 2025 estimate goes to $1.40 from $1.48 (consensus $1.41), reflecting a -2% growth rate at a 6% decremental margin. His 2026 estimate goes to $1.91 from $2.04 (consensus $1.96), reflecting 9% growth on a 34% incremental margin.
Given the recent share price action, Barger acknowledged that his downgrade was reactive. Still, when he noted the market position and the potential impact of reduced demand across mobile phones, autos, and other consumer products, he had less confidence in predicting near-term outcomes for Amkor than for some other names he covered.
For now, Barger noted that the demand for AI-related devices and investments in leading-edge roadmaps should remain resilient, and he is more positive about names exposed to upgrade cycles or where channel inventory has been reduced, like memory. Looking forward, when this macro angst passes and improving cycle dynamics become more apparent, the analyst could be quick to reverse course, but for now, he noted more positive outlooks for Overweight-rated Applied Materials, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), Advanced Energy Industries, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEIS#NASDAQ">AEIS</a>) and MKS Instruments, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKSI#NASDAQ">MKSI</a>).
Price Action: AMKR stock is down 0.33% at $16.10 at last check Thursday.

Shares of chip stocks are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

President Donald Trump has set up a new body within the Commerce Department to manage the CHIPS and Science Act, 2022. 
What Happened: A new entity, the United States Investment Accelerator within the Commerce Department, will now oversee the CHIPS Act program, as established by an executive order signed by Trump on Monday.
Despite Trump&#8217;s past criticism of the bipartisan legislation, the White House said in its fact sheet that the new office will focus on &#8220;negotiating much better CHIPS Act deals&#8221; and streamlining investment processes through reduced regulatory burdens and faster permitting.
According to the <a href="https://www.semiconductors.org/chip-supply-chain-investments/">Semiconductor Industry Association</a>, the CHIPS Program has granted awards worth $32.5417 billion and provided loans up to $5.85 billion to 32 companies across 23 states. 
However, the new entity — Investment Accelerator that will be controlling the CHIPS Act, not only plans to expedite corporate investments but promises to deliver &#8221; the benefit of the bargain for taxpayers,&#8221; as per the Whit House fact sheet.
Other primary goals of the body include;
<ul>
<li>Reducing regulatory burdens</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Speeding up permitting;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Coordinating responses to investor issues across multiple Federal agencies; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Increasing access to national resources;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Facilitating collaboration with national laboratories; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Working with all 50 state governments and their economic development organizations.</li>
</ul>
Here are the U.S.-listed beneficiaries that have received grants under the CHIPS and Science Act, 2022 in the past.

Why It Matters: Trump has been vocal about his criticism of the CHIPS Act. On March 4, during his joint address to Congress, he said, &#8220;Your Chips Act is a horrible, horrible thing.&#8221;
He also urged U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to &#8220;get rid&#8221; of it and use &#8220;whatever is left over&#8221; to &#8220;reduce debt or any other reason you want to.&#8221;
However, the White House&#8217;s new plan has passed on the management of the act to the new entity. Since his time in office, Trump has been able to convince companies to invest in the U.S.
In early March, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE: TSM revealed its plans to inject another $100 billion into U.S. advanced semiconductor manufacturing, significantly expanding its ongoing $65 billion Arizona initiative and bringing total investment to $165 billion.
Similarly, the Magnificent 7 companies are widely expected to spend more than $330 billion on capex in 2025. While the chipmaker Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) hasn't explicitly mentioned a target during its earnings call, the iPhone maker Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) broadly expects to spend $500 billion over the next four years. The remaining companies, however, have provided a specific target for 2025.

Days After Calling The CHIPS Act A 'Horrible Thing,' Donald Trump Sets Up New Entity For 'Negotiating Much Better...Deals:' Here's More

President Donald Trump during his joint address to Congress on Tuesday evening called for ending the CHIPS Act, which provides manufacturing incentives to semiconductor companies setting up their facilities in the U.S.
What Happened: During a primetime address to Congress on Tuesday, the president criticized the legislation, saying, "Your Chips Act is a horrible, horrible thing." Trump urged U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to "get rid" of it and use "whatever is left over" to "reduce debt or any other reason you want to."
According to <a href="https://www.semiconductors.org/chips-incentives-awards/">Semiconductor Industry Association</a>, the CHIPS Program has fueled investments in American semiconductor manufacturing. About $38 billion in grants and loans have been awarded to 32 companies across 23 states, mobilizing over $380 billion in private investment and creating an estimated 145,000 new jobs by 2030. 
Most notably, the Departments of Defense and Commerce awarded Intel Corp. up to $3 billion in CHIPS Act funding to expand domestic manufacturing of advanced semiconductors, strengthening the U.S. supply chain for critical national security needs.
Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd., on the other hand, was the recipient of $6.6 billion worth of grants, out of which $5 billion was a loaned amount for setting up projects worth $65 billion in Phoenix, Arizona.
Here are the U.S.-listed beneficiaries that have received grants under the CHIPS Act.

Why It Matters: A few hours before Trump&#8217;s Congress address, TSMC announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44124444/taiwan-semiconductor-rises-as-100-billion-u-s-expansion-defies-market-downturn">plans to invest</a> an additional $100 billion in advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. Building on a $65 billion project already underway in Arizona, this expansion brings the company&#8217;s total U.S. investment to a massive $165 billion. 
Addressing TSMC&#8217;s latest investment, Trump said, &#8220;All that was important to them was they didn't want to pay the tariffs. So they came and they're building. And many other companies are coming. We don't have to give them money, we just want to protect our businesses and our people, and they will come because they won't have to pay tariffs if they build in America.&#8221;
