Celestica Inc (CLS-T) has garnered mixed reviews from experts regarding its performance and valuation. While some highlight its solid balance sheet, significant revenue growth, and alignment with the AI infrastructure buildout, others express concern over its elevated price-to-earnings (PE) ratio, signifying that it may appear expensive for its sector. Analysts note that its success is closely tied to major customers like Google, which could pose risks if demand fluctuates. Despite its recent strong performance, there are warnings of potential margin compression as supply catches up with demand. Long-term sentiment seems to lean towards maintaining a watchful stance while taking profits, suggesting a cautious approach to investing in this volatile market.
Think of it as a Canadian DELL. Largely tied to GOOG's capex, the TPU program, and networking. Benefiting from the super-cycle. Not sure inside the AI trade is the best place to park capital. As supply starts catching up with demand, chances to earn outsized margins start compressing.
Not expensive today. Don't sell. Keep an open mind to ASML or TSM (for more stability).
Very much aligned with the entire platform being built out, not just individual components. Direct exposure and concentration to the hyperscalers as customers. He thinks those capex numbers are going up, so there's still upside in this name. But with any narrative shift, this will get sold off first.
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 on this one too.
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.

Competes with CSCO and ANET. Very solid balance sheet liquidity. High capital returns to support growth. Elevated valuation of ~31x PE. Bit expensive for this section of the AI ecosystem (the enablers). Once it gets above $455-460, he'll be selling some calls.
(Analysts’ price target is $488.00)
