This summary was created by AI, based on 34 opinions in the last 12 months.

Celestica Inc (CLS-T) has garnered attention due to its strong performance in the AI and cloud infrastructure space, demonstrating revenue growth exceeding 50% last quarter. While some analysts see significant upside potential, with price targets around $625, opinions are mixed, with concerns over the stock's valuation, as it has increased substantially over the past year. A common recommendation is to take profits, indicating that the stock is not trading cheaply, especially after a considerable rise. Analysts note that while the stock benefits from the ongoing AI boom and data center developments, its valuation is perceived as stretched by some experts. Thus, investors are advised to exercise caution and consider pullbacks as potential buying opportunities.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Quite the runup. Certainly wait for a healthy pullback to get in. Building the hardware backbone of AI. Revenue has grown 25% YOY. Profitability keeps surprising with record-high margins. Winning orders and executing efficiently. Not a hyped story by any means. Guidance raised again after other clean beat.

WATCH

They call this a blue sky chart. From a technical perspective, there's really nothing he can say. There are no resistance or other points to comment on. You have to look at other factors. Has done extremely well with the whole data centre buildout. At some point these companies become very sensitive to negative news.

At this point, he himself would be more inclined to put new $$ into an ETF that represents the broader space.

Analyst estimates continue to trend higher, sales and earnings growth are strong, and margins are expanding. It trades at a forward earnings multiple of 44X, which is not cheap, but this is a company that is benefiting from the AI revolution and we think management has executed well. At the first sign of a potential slowdown in AI Capex spending, we think these names could get hit, but we also believe it is sitll relatively early in the AI movement. For a long-term hold, we would be comfortable adding here.

BUY

Great performer, and for good reason. In the right spot. Benefiting from data centre buildout, automation, and healthcare. Strong operationally. Will be an important Canadian stock for a long time. He'd buy here, even though it's up a bunch.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Benefits from AI build out. Sees 6% upside.  Scores 2/10 in value, 8 in fundamentals. Buy pullbacks. The momentum is already priced in.

DON'T BUY

Have done a super job to be front and centre in data centres, both back and front end. But this is still cyclical. He sold it after a tremendous run, but left money on the table. The valuation is way at the high end around 40x earnings. This has gone from one extreme to another. 

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Brand-new high today, trades at 35x forward PE. Fairly attractive growth expectations going forward with 43% expected EPS growth this year, 22% for 2026, and 17% for 2027. Close to overbought with 64 RSI. If you own, hold. To get in, wait for pullback.

DON'T BUY

Wouldn't buy here. Not a stock that would make her watchlist, too risky. Problem is it's linked to AI, with over 50% of revenue coming from hyperscalers. Overvalued. No dividend.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It is up 260% in a year. Its business is manufacturing for different tech companies. Its numbers are very strong but its valuation is up now and there are other companies that could be coming up. Keep holding and if buying do so in tranches on pull backs.

HOLD

Lots of investors are taking profits, generally, now that earnings season is over. Needed a strong stomach for this one; in April, was under $80. He can't even recommend writing some calls, as he's been doing that and it's not working ;) He ended up having to buy the calls back, as he didn't want to get called away. 

Don't trim. Hold on, and use a stop of around $250.

DON'T BUY

It has done everything right the last few years. An excellent turnaround story. However, the stock is priced for perfection. Too expensive to enter. 

BUY

We would be comfortable today as long as an investor has a 3 year+ timeframe to hold. Funamental momentum is very positive and the recent quarter showed an acceleration of growth.

HOLD

In general, margins for contract manufacturers are very thin. But this name's on a roll. Great space, as the world will continue to build data centres. Very strong earnings momentum. Consistent upgrades to earnings estimates, which is what you want in a growth stock. Better than 98% of companies in the S&P over last 52 weeks.

A bit stretched above MAs, may be susceptible to a miss. Reports in 11 days, and no sign that it has big risks.

PARTIAL SELL

Great Canadian success story. Positioned themselves well to benefit from the AI trend and data centre buildout. Benefiting from semiconductor companies spending huge amounts. Not cheap, but not egregiously overpriced. Huge run, but earnings momentum is there. Take a bit off the table.

Unspecified

It doesn't pay a dividend, Assembles materials for data centres and correlates to Nvidia. It has been switching to a more stable recurring revenue sysytem. He wonders about other developments coming and looks for dividend paying stocks with less volatility. He talked about Verses Tech on the Neo exchange (VERS) with a different method of machine learning and AI which uses less computer power and less electricity.
