Sanmina Corporation (SANM) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Sanmina (SANM) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
I rate Sanmina a buy, driven by transformative exposure to cloud and AI infrastructure following the ZT Systems acquisition. ZT significantly shifts SANM's revenue mix, boosting cloud infrastructure exposure from 38% to 63% and enabling access to hyperscaler customers and liquid cooling capabilities. SANM's agreement with AMD positions it to benefit from the upcoming Helios rack rollout, with even a 10% TAM share representing $1.3 billion in potential revenue.
SANM's operating margin edges higher as AI and cloud demand boosted profitability, but rising costs tied to ZT Systems raise questions about sustaining growth.
SANM delivers integrated manufacturing solutions for defense and aerospace, producing advanced electronics for radar, satellites, avionics and mission systems.
Sanmina bets on vertically integrated, end-to-end manufacturing and 42Q connected factories, yet supply-chain delays and fierce rivals cloud the outlook.
SANM's diversified end-market reach and vertically integrated model drive resilience, flexibility, and rising estimates, signaling potential for further upside.
