On September 11, Celestica rose 5.41% in regular trading, trading at $343.51/share, with turnover of $185 million. The move was driven by a senior management reshuffle that the market interpreted as a positive signal for the company's global expansion strategy amid AI-driven growth.
Specifically, the company's CFO Chawla, who has served in the role since 2017, was promoted in a move widely seen as reinforcing Celestica's push into global markets and AI infrastructure. The announcement comes on the heels of UBS upgrading the stock from \"neutral\" to \"buy\" with a price target of CAD 591.92, projecting a nearly 50% two-year compound annual EPS growth rate. Additionally, Celestica's Q2 results showed revenue surging 62% year-over-year to $4.7 billion, with adjusted EPS of $2.54 significantly beating the $2.27 consensus estimate. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to $20.5 billion, well above prior market expectations. Celestica also announced an investor day scheduled for October 27, further fueling optimism around its AI infrastructure business outlook.
