Celestica lifts 2026 forecast and unveils ambitious 2027 revenue target

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The raised 2026/2027 targets signal stronger end-market demand and potential margin expansion, prompting near-term price appreciation. The magnitude of the 2027 target (40B) suggests durable growth if execution aligns with plan, though the market has already priced in some optimism amid macro AI headwinds. Historical parallels show big guidance upgrades can lift shares short-term, with risk if subsequent quarters miss cadence.
