Celestica Inc (CLS.TO)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Already trading 30% above what analysts think it's worth a year from now. In momentum mode. If you're going to trade and buy at the breakout here, you have to be very sensitive to a correction at some point as seen in the chart in February. That's the environment we're in when you're chasing new all-time highs on a name.

He's a value guy. He likes to buy on a pullback, not when a stock's breaking out to all-time highs. That's just his style, doesn't mean it's right and other ways are wrong.

The chart says the old high has been taken out. Good. The rebound in the last two months was a big move, parabolic. But count on a short-term pullback, as long as it doesn't break below the old high of $180. This is very good.

Looks good. He'd pick CLS, as it's in a nice upward trend. More potential upside.

This area of the market has seen massive demand, largely driven by AI and the buildout of data centres. Outlook is quite strong. Valuation quite reasonable. Very well run. Future isn't as certain within the semi sector. His preference is TSM or NVDA.

A darling. The story remind him of Dell, which assembles technology from other companies in a product for you to use. This raises questions of pricing power and technological differentiation. He has similar questions about CLS. As well, electronic manufacturing companies generally don't have great operating margins; a digestion phase in the markets would be a challenge for them.

Be cautious of names that get attached to the AI bandwagon. News like DeepSeek can also compress the multiples of the AI derivative plays.

Not in his fund, but in separately managed accounts. Fantastic job on the supply side. 12-month price target of $199. If you own it, hold on. Add around $148, and another 1/3 around $140.
