Since my April 'buy' upgrade, Celestica's stock surged 85%. I remain bullish, citing strong fundamentals and expecting new highs despite recent gains near all-time highs. Q1 FY 2025 saw a record 7.1% EBIT margin, with sales up 19.9% and EPS +39.5%. I see the CCS segment, fueled by hyperscaler AI demand (HPS +99% YoY), driving growth. I believe the shift to higher-margin CCS (7.9% margin) and new 1.6T switch wins underpin the raised FY 2025 guidance: $10.85B revenue, $5.00 EPS, signaling continued operating leverage.
