Our Current Assesment Of APH Stock
Opinion: We currently find APH stock attractive but volatile. Why so? Have a look at the full story. Read Buy or Sell APH Stock to see what drives our current opinion.
Risk: A good way to gauge risk is to check how much APH fell in past market meltdowns. It plunged about 57.5% in the Dot-Com crash and nearly 63.5% in the Global Financial Crisis. Even the more recent shocks weren’t kind — a 37.5% drop during the Covid sell-off and almost 29% in the inflation shock. The 2018 correction hit it for over 22%. So, no matter the positives, when the market turns south, APH isn’t immune to steep pullbacks.
APH stock may have seen strong gains recently, but investing in a single stock without detailed, thorough analysis can be risky. The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
