Both have compounded well over 10 years (SWKS: +33. 9%, AMPG: -75. 0%), confirming both are viable long-term holds — but the lower-volatility option typically results in less emotional selling during corrections.

Both stocks operate in the Technology sector, making this a peer-level intra-sector comparison — the same macro tailwinds and headwinds will affect both.
