Why CLS stock is up today

Celestica Inc. (CLS) surged 10.04% to $350.20 on Monday, driven by a strong earnings report and upgraded guidance that exceeded expectations. The company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $2.54, surpassing the $2.30 estimate, and revenue of $4.699 billion, beating the $4.389 billion forecast. Celestica also raised its full-year revenue outlook to $20.5 billion and projected $11.30 in adjusted EPS for 2026, citing strong demand from hyperscalers and AI infrastructure.

What Happened

Celestica delivered record operating margins and double-digit adjusted EPS growth in the second quarter, prompting the company to lift its full-year revenue and earnings guidance. The firm highlighted increased demand for AI compute infrastructure and a strategic deal with OpenAI as key growth drivers for 2027. Stifel, a key analyst firm, raised its price target for Celestica to $500, citing robust demand for AI-related products. The CEO, Robert Mionis, sold shares on three consecutive days in early June, but this did not dampen investor enthusiasm following the earnings beat.

Retail traders on social media platforms noted the company’s strong performance and the potential for further upside in the AI sector. Celestica’s stock has risen 18% over the past eight sessions, reflecting growing confidence in its long-term growth trajectory.

Revenue has grown by 36.7% in the trailing twelve months, and the stock is up 10.04% in today’s session. Over the last 36 hours, unusual options activity included 12 notable prints, with $43.2 million in call premium traded and no put premium. The largest single options print was valued at $5.3 million. Celestica’s shares have traded between $164.52 and $474.02 over the past 52 weeks.

What To Watch

Celestica’s next key event will be its third-quarter 2026 earnings report. Investors should also monitor the breadth of analyst coverage and any further upgrades to the stock’s valuation outlook.
