We recently published 10 Stocks Withstanding Market Turbulence. Celestica Inc. was one of the best performers on Thursday.
Celestica jumped by 6.90 percent on Thursday to finish at $294.89 apiece as investors loaded portfolios in semiconductor stocks on strong confidence amid a market bloodbath dampened by Bitcoin’s sharp fall during the day.
The rally was further supported by a strong earnings performance last year, with net income soaring by 94.5 percent to $832.5 million from only $428 million in 2024, as revenues surged by 29 percent to $12.39 billion from $9.6 billion year-on-year.
In the fourth quarter alone, net profit totaled $267.5 million, marking a 76 percent jump from $151.7 million in the same period a year earlier. Revenues jumped by 44 percent to $3.6 billion from $2.5 billion year-on-year.
Encouraged by the results, Celestica Inc. raised its full-year 2026 revenue growth outlook to $17 billion from $16 billion previously on expectations for stronger demand for AI-related data center technologies. This would imply a 37 percent jump from 2025 revenues.
Adjusted earnings per share were also pegged at $8.75, versus $8.20 previously.
“Our financial performance in the fourth quarter was very strong, with revenue of $3.65 billion and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP)* of $1.89, both exceeding the high end of our guidance ranges. We had a solid finish to 2025,” said Celestica Inc. President and CEO Rob Mionis.
