Amkor Technology Called a 'Secret Weapon' in Chip Race
Newsletter gurus Ian King and George Gilder are pitching AMKR as a sleeper play in the domestic semiconductor buildout.
If you've been sleeping on Amkor Technology (NASDAQ: AMKR), a couple of high-profile newsletter writers think you're making a costly mistake. Ian King and George Gilder are actively pitching the stock as one of their top picks — framing it as a quiet giant that's been operating in the chip industry for five decades and is now planting serious roots on American soil.
The duo's pitch leans hard on the domestic angle. They describe Amkor as a "50-year veteran in the chip industry that's finally coming to America" — which is a nod to the broader onshoring wave sweeping through the semiconductor space. If you've been tracking the CHIPS Act money and the rush to build U.S.-based fab capacity, Amkor fits that narrative snugly.

King and George Gilder have packaged AMKR inside a list they're calling their Top 13 Stocks That Will Skyrocket — so this isn't a solo rec, it's part of a broader high-conviction basket. That matters for context. Newsletter-driven momentum can move smaller-cap names fast, and AMKR isn't exactly a household name among retail traders yet. That asymmetry is exactly the kind of setup King and Gilder appear to be banking on.
The core tradeable thesis here is simple: if U.S. semiconductor self-sufficiency keeps accelerating, the back-end packaging and assembly players — like Amkor — stand to benefit just as much as the flashier chip designers. Amkor's long operating history gives it credibility that newer entrants simply can't match overnight. Whether the stock actually skyrockets depends on execution and contract wins, but the macro tailwind is real.
