Te connectivity drops 8.7% today

Highlights

TE Connectivity delivered record third-quarter net sales of $5.16 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.94, both above consensus expectations.
Fourth-quarter EPS guidance was set at $3.05, exceeding projections, with the Astrodyne TDI acquisition anticipated to close by year-end, expanding industrial power offerings.
Despite strong earnings, shares remain under pressure, trading below major moving averages with recent downside momentum and a near-term projected range of $171.64 to $198.37.

Record sales and robust outlook offset by persistent selling pressure

TE Connectivity reported record net sales of $5.16 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $2.94 for its fiscal third quarter ended June 26, 2026, exceeding analyst consensus. Orders reached $5.7 billion, a 27% increase year over year. The company released fourth quarter EPS guidance of $3.05, above consensus, and confirmed a quarterly dividend of $0.78 per share. The Astrodyne TDI acquisition is expected to close by year-end, broadening its industrial power portfolio, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, views the sharp 8.7% drop as a significant red flag despite robust financials and upbeat guidance. He notes price action remains locked below all major moving averages, signaling persistent technical weakness. Bears are firmly in control with resistance stacking up and mixed momentum failing to inspire confidence. While a strong fundamental story exists, sentiment shows that sellers remain dominant — even positive news is being ignored. Kharitonov warns, "Investors should not be distracted by headline growth when the price structure remains so decisively bearish."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the underlying business momentum as highly encouraging. He highlights record sales, strong EPS, and rising orders as signals of resilient growth potential. The upcoming Astrodyne TDI acquisition expands the company’s industrial portfolio, laying groundwork for expansion. Karapetjanc argues that, despite pullbacks, the forward-looking setup remains attractive due to supportive fundamentals and ambitious guidance. He states, "Investors should focus on the company’s operational strength — further growth is on the horizon despite temporary volatility."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes the clash between upbeat news and prevailing negative sentiment in TE Connectivity. He emphasizes how short-term volatility and mixed momentum create opportunities for nimble traders. Key levels at $171.64 and $198.37 may define the next breakout move, with probabilities slightly favoring a rebound scenario. Turakhiya concludes, "Current sentiment-driven swings call for careful strategy — watch for reversals as the market digests both technical weakness and positive newsflow."

Bearish trend confirmed as price consolidates below major averages

TE Connectivity is currently trading below its 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages, with levels at $200.51, $205.8, and $220.32 respectively, signaling a short-, medium-, and long-term bearish trend. The nearest resistance is the recent week low at $196.88, and the nearest support is the session low at $190.35, both highlighting downward pressure and reinforcing the prevailing negative outlook given the bearish MA-50 vs MA-200 alignment and resistance from the Ichimoku Kijun at $206.12. Momentum signals are mixed: MACD shows strong selling while ADX is neutral, and price is consolidating near session lows with high intraday volatility.

Previously it was reported that renewed institutional interest and near-term technical strength had supported TE Connectivity shares despite lingering long-term resistance. The latest sharp decline and firmly bearish technical structure now mark a shift in sentiment, making the $171.64 level especially critical for assessing the risk of further downside in the coming sessions.
