AT A GLANCE

Q3 2026 earnings recap

Celestica shares rose about 16.8% after close as the company projected $40 billion of 2027 revenue, turning strong AI demand into a much larger growth outlook.

  • Third-quarter revenue rose 83% to $5.83 billion, led by networking and cloud hardware demand.
  • Adjusted profit per share reached $3.30, above management’s $3.08 guidance ceiling, while accounting profit was $3.26 per share.
  • The 2026 outlook rose to $21 billion in sales and $11.55 in adjusted profit per share, supporting higher expected earnings.
  • The pre-results close valued shares at 21 times 2026 adjusted earnings guidance, while holding above the former $260–$273 trading range would strengthen the rebound.
  • The 2026 free-cash-flow forecast fell to $460 million from $600 million as inventory and other operating investments absorbed cash.
  • Planned 2027 capital spending of $1.5–$2 billion makes customer delivery schedules and factory execution key risks.

The October 27 investor day is the next test of how the company plans to fund and deliver its ambitious expansion.

How this comparison works

Uses the saved companies from the same industry and listing market, including CLS, ordered by cached market cap. Company snapshots can have different dates; the web cache may cover fewer metrics and periods than the app.

Periods end at each company’s dated price snapshot. Change compares the latest saved observation with one at or before the selected period’s start. A daily price change uses consecutive saved sessions. Financial data updates quarterly, so short periods may show no change. Missing history and zero starting values are excluded; a negative starting value uses its absolute value as the denominator.

Metrics use saved ratios and percentages. Market caps use the listing market’s reporting currency; underlying financial statements may use different currencies. Circle sizes have a minimum for touch visibility, and an outlined circle indicates a missing market cap. These comparisons describe data, not recommendations or price predictions.
