On August 27, Celestica rose 5.67% in regular trading, trading at $324.7/share, with turnover of $126 million. The rally was driven by UBS upgrading the stock from Neutral to Buy.
UBS set a target price of C$591.92 and projected a two-year EPS compound annual growth rate of approximately 50%, forecasting earnings per share to rise from $10.83 in the 2026 natural year to $24.72 in the 2028 natural year. The firm highlighted robust demand for AI-driven Ethernet switching and AI/ML compute infrastructure, estimating a three-year revenue CAGR of 40% for the communications business segment. UBS further noted that custom ASIC solutions would drive significant growth in enterprise revenue.
The upgrade follows Celestica's strong Q2 results reported in late July, where revenue surged 62% year-over-year to $4.7 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.54 beat the consensus estimate of $2.27 by nearly 12%. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to $20.5 billion and indicated that revenue growth would further accelerate into 2027, supported by new project wins and sustained AI infrastructure demand.
