Last earnings call, Jul 27, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Celestica's Q2 2026 earnings call highlighted strong operational performance and accelerating demand across its CCS and ATS segments. Management reported Q2 revenue of $4.7B (up 62% YoY) and adjusted EPS of $2.54, both exceeding guidance; adjusted operating margin reached a company high of 8.2%. CCS revenue was $3.81B (up 84%) driven by communications and enterprise end markets, with hyperscale (HPS) contributing $1.9B (41% of revenue). Management raised full-year 2026 guidance to $20.5B revenue and $11.30 adjusted EPS, with adjusted operating margin of 8.4% and free cash flow guidance of $600M. They also signaled stronger-than-expected 2027 growth, expecting revenue acceleration beyond 65% YoY due to ramping 800G and 1.6T switch programs, AI/ML compute ramps with customers like OpenAI and AMD and scale-up opportunities (RACs, CPO). Capacity expansions in Thailand, Japan and Texas (Richardson, Fort Worth) and planned CapEx of ~$1B in 2026 (noted $1.5B placeholder for 2027) were discussed. Management emphasized supply chain constraints—especially materials/long lead times—but framed them as manageable with binding orders and improved planning, enabling stronger visibility into demand. They highlighted margin expansion driven by mix toward HPS, operating leverage from higher utilization, and ATS margin improvement (highest at 6.3%). They stated no plans to fund customers' growth (not acting as bank) and noted conservative accounting/consignment dynamics for certain programs (e.g., OpenAI materials may not flow through revenue).
- Guidance
- Raised 2026 outlook: revenue increased from $19B to $20.5B (≈65% growth); adjusted EPS increased from $10.15 to $11.30 (≈87% growth); full-year adjusted operating margin increased to 8.4% (from 8.1%); free cash flow outlook increased from $500M to $600M; planned CapEx ≈ $1B for 2026. For 2027: management expects revenue growth to accelerate beyond the 65% 2026 figure and adjusted EPS to outpace revenue growth; expects CCS revenue to grow ≈85% in 2026; mass production of 1.6 programs beginning Q3 2026 into 2027 and multiple large program ramps in 2027 (OpenAI, AMD Helios, CPO mass production H2 2027). Provided mid-2026 and some 2027 program cadence but deferred detailed 2027 guidance to later in the year.
- Risks flagged
- Primary risks cited: component/material supply constraints and long lead times; continuity/availability of supply; mix risk affecting gross margins; timing of program ramps; political/regional manufacturing shifts (though management noted global footprint and customer requests for regional capacity, with some expansions in U.S. and Japan).
