Gossip

- ·Massive demand for AI networking infrastructure
- ·Diversification away from volatile consumer electronics
- ·Consistent 'beat and raise' earnings performance over the last 4 quarters
Financial
Celestica shows robust margin expansion driven by their Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS) segment. They maintain a healthy balance sheet with strong free cash flow generation used for deleveraging and strategic buybacks.
- ·Forward P/E of ~18x (attractive vs tech peers)
- ·Revenue growth exceeding 20% YoY in key segments
- ·Operating margins expanding toward 6.5-7% range
