Amkor Technology is exploring options that include selling a stake in its China business, according to people familiar with the matter. Bloomberg reports the potential stake sale could involve a valuation in the range of about $1.5 billion, while The Next Web cites the same information and describes a broader range of $1 billion to $1.5 billion.
The company provides outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing services. The reporting frames the discussion as part of Amkor’s ongoing strategic efforts, including investment in advanced packaging. The Next Web adds that Amkor has engaged an adviser in connection with the stake-sale exploration.
Both outlets describe the talks as preliminary and do not indicate that a transaction is imminent or guaranteed. The differing emphasis lies mainly in the potential valuation range and the additional detail about advisory support, rather than the core fact that Amkor is considering selling part of its China unit.
