TSE:CLS
This summary was created by AI, based on 32 opinions in the last 12 months.
Celestica Inc (CLS) has seen extraordinary growth, outperforming the market with a chart reflecting over 1,000% increase in the past three years. Analysts highlight strong demand stemming from AI and data center buildouts, with revenue recently spiking by over 50%. However, there are concerns over its high valuation, trading at approximately 35-44x forward PE, which raises questions about sustainability given the cyclical nature of the business. While some experts advocate purchasing on dips and believe in its long-term potential, others caution against high entry points and suggest a need to take profits, indicating volatility may test investors' patience. The overwhelming sentiment leans towards cautiously optimistic, but experts advise careful monitoring of market conditions and earnings to navigate potential downturns.
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.
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.
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.
A winner in the AI build-out: cloud infrastucture, high-speed networking and other AI-related systems. Also, they supply aerospace/defence where defence budgets have increased. Third, they're in healthtech devices. All businesses are drivers, especially AI. A lot of growth is baked into the stock, but buy on any dips, on headline about any data centres being delayed.
