<p>Top Senate Democrats will force Republicans to vote on access to emergency abortion care this week, in one of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)'s final pre-election messaging pushes, Axios has learned.</p>
<p><strong>The big picture:</strong> <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/09/17/georgia-abortion-death-democrats">The death of a Georgia woman</a> who was refused emergency care because of the state's abortion restrictions has become the latest rallying cry for Democrats who are wagering abortion will be a winning issue for their party on Nov. 5.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), will seek unanimous consent Tuesday to pass a resolution she introduced last week affirming that every person has a right to emergency health care, including abortion care.</li>
<li>Murray's move will force Republicans to either block the measure or pass it.</li>
<li>Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) also will seek unanimous consent Tuesday on a bill that would offset travels costs for people seeking abortion care.</li>

What Happened With Palantir Stock Today?

<p><strong>Amkor Technology</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amkr#NASDAQ">AMKR</a>) shares have lost 17.7% in the past three months, underperforming the Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry and the S&amp;P 500 index&#39;s return of 2.2% and 4.2%, respectively. The underperformance is attributable to a myriad of challenges that are keeping the investors away.</p>
<p>Throughout the past year, Amkor struggled with supply chain disruption caused by geopolitical tension and faced macroeconomic challenges caused by high inflation and interest rates. The outsourced semiconductor packaging and test services (OSAT) leader also suffered from the shortage of semiconductors, keeping its top and bottom lines constrained.</p>
<p>In the previous quarter, AMKR reported that it was still suffering from the slow recovery of automotive and industrial space, along with softness in traditional data center client demand. AMKR&#39;s several factories have been reported not to be functioning at full capacity, hence hurting its top-line growth.</p>
<p>Amkor is also suffering from lower demand for its 2.5D integrated circuit caused by the inventory corrections in the automotive and industrial markets. In recent times, Amkor&#39;s operating expenses have also risen due to the construction of a new factory in Vietnam. This has affected its bottom line.</p>
<h3>Amkor Technology Three Month Performance</h3>
<p><img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/2f/78862.jpg?v=495650514" /></p>
<p>Image Source: Zacks Investment Research</p>
<h2>AMKR Faces Stiff Competition in the OSAT Market</h2>
<p>Amkor is a major player in the OSAT space, providing solutions for innovative packaging and test technologies with a solid reputation for high-volume manufacturing. AMKR&#39;s presence in multiple countries in Asia and Europe makes it a global player in the OSAT space. The company partnered with the world&#39;s leading tech giants, including Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, Broadcomm, AMD and many more.</p>
<p>In late 2023, Apple partnered with Amkor as the largest customer of the latter&#39;s manufacturing and packaging facility in Peoria. In this partnership, Amkor was contracted to provide chip packaging solutions to Apple. This partnership grew over their decade-long relationship.</p>
<p>However, Amkor faces stiff competition in the OSAT space from <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsm#NYSE">TSM</a>) and <strong>ASE Technology Holding </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/asx#NYSE">ASX</a>).</p>
<p>Both ASE Technology and Taiwan Semiconductor operate in the OSAT space internationally. TSM and ASX have their own fabrication facilities. Although TSM&#39;s primary focus is on chip manufacturing, it has a strong advanced packaging division. ASX, on the other hand, is focused on IC packaging, testing and assembly services with products like System-in-Package and 3D IC technologies.</p>
<p>With all these headwinds, AMKR expects third-quarter fiscal 2024 revenues in the range of $1.785-$1.885 billion (mid-point $1.835 billion), while the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $1.84 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2024 revenues is pegged at $6.51 billion, indicating an improvement of 0.15% year over year.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Amkor is facing macroeconomic challenges, higher operational costs, stiff competition and a slow growth rate due to sluggish recovery in its end markets. Currently, AMKR carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). We suggest investors to sell the stock at present.</p>
