This summary was created by AI, based on 33 opinions in the last 12 months.

Celestica Inc (CLS-T) has experienced significant momentum in the last few years, primarily attributed to its role in the data center buildout and increased demand driven by AI technologies. The stock has shown impressive growth of over 1,000% in three years, yet it currently trades at high price-to-earnings (PE) multiples, around 35-44x, resulting in high expectations from the market. Experts have expressed caution, suggesting that while the company has positive revenue growth and strong operational performance, its valuation may be stretched given the cyclical nature of its business and dependencies on hyperscaler revenues. Analysts recommend careful buying strategies, indicating that potential price corrections could create advantageous entry points, yet many foresee the risks associated with future AI spending and market volatility. Overall, the sentiment is mixed with some experts advising to take profits and others suggesting a long-term perspective with the caveat of high valuations.

Be up to date, don't miss your chance.

WAIT

In a massive growth segment, with the AI infrastructure buildout. Strategically in a very good position. If you have your heart set on this one, valuation is very reasonable at below 20x PE. Yet FCF is fairly meagre, which indicates valuation is still stretched. Watch and wait.

Instead, he uses TSM for client portfolios. Valuations in the space tend to be fairly rich. So this name isn't a buy today. Watch and wait.

DON'T BUY

Is benefiting from the huge demand in the data centre buildout. Trades at a high PE, so expectations are high. 

SELL

Incredible chart over past 3 years (up over 1,000%). Trades fairly expensively at ~35x PE, not a lot of room for error. There is a capital cycle, and that cycle will end.

DON'T BUY

Trades at 41x PE. It comes down to whether demand will continue to rise with AI spending. If so, profits will continue to be profitable with EPS to jump from $10 in 2026 to $15 in 2027, then $19 in 2028, then $26 in 2029. CLS comes down to how much you want to pay for it. Beta is a volatile 2.04, twice as much as the TSX. So, earnings is very important. 

BUY

This is a great time to buy. Q1 revenue growth is up over 50% and guidance was increased. You could buy now and add if it goes lower to $430. They provide design, manufacturing and supply chain solutions including aero-defense and communication. It has recently collaborated with AMD.

HOLD

META selling excess capacity is specific to META, not necessarily a sign that hardware is slowing. Still likes it here.

HOLD

Canadian tech that's done well. Likes it, continuing to own going forward.

DON'T BUY

It's a manufacturing company. Can they continue to grow at this level and justify a high multiple? The market overestimates their earnings and margins. So when AI emerges, you see a strong pullback. Be cautious with stocks like this which aren't consistent over time. View their PE as a manufacturing and not a tech company.

PARTIAL BUY

He took some profits just last week. His 12-month target is $650. Buy in thirds here ~$500, $450, and $400 (note that he rarely gets this last third of any position). Darling of Canadian networking companies. Next earnings report at beginning of July.

TOP PICK

Helps build hardware behind AI and cloud infrastructure. Massive growth. Revenue jumped more than 50% last quarter. Moving into products with better margins, increasingly important in AI supply chain.

Expectations are high. She sees upside potential of 30%, price target of ~$625. No dividend.

(Analysts’ price target is $614.77)
SELL
Large portion of an investor's portfolio. Take profits?

Not trading cheap. A triple in the last year. He's a value investor. He can't explain or understand the multiple. It's for momentum-type traders. He wouldn't be involved here.

HOLD

All-time high today. If you own it, sell some calls (1-2 weeks) around the $535-545 level. You probably don't want to get called away, so if it gets close just roll the price up. 

WEAK BUY

It had a good uptrend till the end of 2025, then has been sideways. It has tested support at $340-350 with resistance at $500. Now it seems to be in an upswing during a sideways trend. Not bad news.

BUY

With reference to the question he would not short the stock. It has seen a 100% gain per year over the past 3 or 4 years so has had a tremendous turn-around. There is lots of volatility and the recent pull back gives a buying opportunity. 

HOLD

A name for core AI exposure. Valuation of mid-20x PE is justified, so much demand. Recent earnings and outlook were quite positive. Manages expectations, so every quarter is "a beat and a raise".
