AMETEK stock has dropped 5.5% from its 52-week high of $198.33. Shares of AME have gained 4.2% over the past three months, underperforming the broader Nasdaq Composite’s ($NASX) 11% rise over the same time frame.

Despite some fluctuations, the stock has been trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since early August, implying a recent uptrend.
On July 31, AMETEK shares rose 4.6% after the company delivered better-than-expected Q2 2025 results, reporting adjusted EPS of $1.78 and revenue of $1.8 billion. The Electromechanical Group led growth with a 6% year-over-year sales increase to $618.5 million, fueled by strong organic demand, record operating income, margin expansion, and contributions from the FARO Technologies acquisition.
Boosting confidence further, AMETEK raised its 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $7.06–$7.20 and upgraded its annual sales growth outlook to the mid-single digits from its earlier low-single-digit forecast.
