A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after sentiment weakened following a surprisingly weak private payrolls report from ADP. According to the ADP National Employment Report, the U.S. private sector added only 22,000 jobs in January, falling significantly short of economists' estimates of 45,000 to 48,000. The slowdown was led by the manufacturing and the professional and business services sectors. The professional and business services category was particularly hard-hit, shedding 57,000 jobs, marking its most substantial monthly decline since mid-2025. This lackluster hiring data points to a potential cooling in the labor market, raising concerns for companies whose revenues are closely tied to employment levels and business spending.
Amphenol Corporation (NYSE: APH) today announced that the Board of Directors has appointed R. Adam Norwitt, currently serving as President and Chief Executive Officer, to the additional role of Chairman of the Board, effective on the date of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is expected to be in May 2026. After more than five decades with Amphenol, including serving as President from 1987 to 2006, Chief Executive Officer from 1996 to 2008 and as Chairman of the Board since 1997, Martin H. Loeffler intends to retire from the Board also effective in May. As part of this leadership transition, David P. Falck, who has served as a Director since 2013 and Presiding Director since 2016, will continue to serve as Lead Independent Director.
Amphenol’s fourth quarter was marked by robust revenue growth and a significant operating margin expansion, but the negative market reaction reflected investor caution. Management attributed the strong results to broad-based demand across nearly all end markets, with the IT datacom segment, particularly AI-driven applications, serving as a major catalyst. CEO Adam Norwitt noted that record bookings were “driven primarily by data center demand related in particular to artificial intelligence investments being planned by a number of our large customers.” Additionally, recent acquisitions, including Trexon, contributed to sales growth and segment diversification. Despite these achievements, investors appeared focused on the sustainability of this growth given the scale of recent order inflows.
