Insider transaction details

Amkor Technology (NASDAQ: AMKR) Executive Vice President Farshad Haghighi sold 15,624 shares of common stock on February 25 at $50.50 per share, producing proceeds of $789,012, according to a Form 4 filing. The sale coincides with the semiconductor stock trading at $48.52 and a market capitalization of $12 billion after a 135% rally over the past year.

Related Form 4 entries

The filing also documents that Haghighi disposed of 815 shares at $48.53 on February 24. Those shares were withheld by Amkor Technology, Inc. in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units to satisfy the reporting person’s tax withholding obligations, with the withheld shares valued at $39,551.

On the same day as the withholding transaction, Haghighi acquired 1,814 shares through the exercise of restricted stock units, as recorded in the SEC filing.


Quarterly performance and market actions

Amkor reported fourth-quarter 2025 earnings per share of $0.69, well above the consensus forecast of $0.44. Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.89 billion versus expectations of $1.84 billion. The company’s strong results were accompanied by the announcement of a secondary public offering of 10 million shares priced at $48.75 each, sold by 915 Investments, LP, an investment vehicle for the Kim Family and Susan Y. Kim.

The offering includes a 30-day option for the underwriter, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, to purchase an additional 1.5 million shares. Despite the upbeat quarterly numbers and the offering, the stock experienced a decline in aftermarket trading.

Analyst reaction and valuation note

Needham raised its price target on Amkor to $65 from $50 and maintained a Buy rating, citing the company’s strong quarterly performance and raised guidance. Separately, InvestingPro analysis noted that the shares currently appear overvalued relative to their Fair Value, with further detail available in the platform’s Pro Research Report.


Context and takeaways

The insider sale by an executive, the vesting and withholding activity tied to restricted stock units, the large secondary offering by a family investment vehicle, and the firm quarterly beat collectively highlight active capital-market and insider dynamics at Amkor. These developments come as the stock trades well above earlier levels after a year of substantial gains.

Risks

  • InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock appears overvalued relative to its Fair Value, which introduces valuation risk for equity investors in the semiconductor sector.
  • The company announced a 10 million-share secondary offering by 915 Investments, LP, and an underwriter option for 1.5 million additional shares, events that coincided with a decline in aftermarket trading and create near-term market uncertainty.
  • Insider disposition of shares and the withholding of shares to meet tax obligations highlight potential short-term selling pressure and liquidity effects on Amkor's stock.
