AI infrastructure and defense demand are lifting TTMI, but investors may want to weigh growth against valuation.
TTM Technologies is riding strong defense electronics demand with a $1.6B backlog, key radar program wins and growing military bookings supporting long-term growth.
TTM Technologies, Inc. delivered 30% YoY Q1 2026 revenue growth, driven by 61% growth in data center and networking end markets. TTMI's forward EV/EBITDA/Growth ratio of 0.73 signals undervaluation versus peers, despite a high current P/E and P/S. The company is transitioning to higher-margin products, with EBITDA projected to grow at a 31.43% CAGR through 2028.
TTM Technologies is evolving into a key AI infrastructure and defense electronics supplier, moving beyond its cyclical PCB roots. Q1 2026 saw 30% revenue growth to $846M, record non-GAAP EPS of $0.75, and a strong book-to-bill of 1.41, signaling robust demand. Data Center & Networking (36% of revenue) and Aerospace & Defense (40%) drive both growth and stability, balancing cyclical and secular trends.
TTM Technologies has surged 123% since my last coverage, outperforming the benchmark and maintaining strong momentum. Despite trading at a 37x forward P/E, TTMI's premium is justified by robust earnings performance and potential top- and bottom-line growth. Key catalysts include expanding data center markets and aerospace/defense circuit demand, supporting my continued Buy rating.
TTM Technologies delivered record Q1 2026 results, driven by AI data center and defense segments, with 30% YoY revenue growth and 50% EPS growth. AI and defense now comprise 80% of TTMI's business, with defense providing a regulatory moat and a countercyclical annuity undervalued by the market. Management guides Q2 net sales of $930–$970M and non-GAAP EPS of $0.82–$0.88, but consensus expects higher EPS, setting up for another potential beat.
