Q3 2026 REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
Celestica raises its growth outlook while cutting free-cash-flow guidance; the capacity ramp, receivable funding and dilution determine the margin of safety.
Q3 revenue of $5.8297B and adjusted EPS of $3.30 exceeded management’s prior high ends.
FY2026 free-cash-flow outlook fell from $600M to $460M as working-capital investment grows.
The 10-Q reports $700.8M of sold receivables outstanding; gross turnover is not the net cash benefit.
The offering brought $3.3913B net cash while period-end shares rose to 126.1M.
A$40B revenue outlook and $1.5–$2.0B capex plan make cash returns and customer commitments central to valuation.

Reviewed operating groups override broad sector classifications. Other companies are matched only within a sufficiently specific provider industry. Business mix, geography and accounting standards can still differ. Market caps are converted to USD using exchange rates captured during the snapshot refresh. Financial ratios that would mix currencies are omitted. Snapshots must be at most 14 days old and no more than seven days apart for automatic selection.
Peer medians require at least two valid similar-size peers for each metric. Negative earnings, nonpositive equity, missing data and irrelevant bank ratios are not presented as attractive valuations. A higher or lower number is not automatically a better investment. Financial statement periods are not calendar-aligned across companies.
Reported performance
Periods are grouped by their ending calendar year or quarter, not identical fiscal calendars. Exact period-end dates appear in tooltips and reported figures. When reporting currencies differ and a recent captured FX rate is available, money and EPS are normalized to USD for comparison. This is not a historical FX restatement. Gaps are not estimated.
Financial statements load separately from the research page.

Standalone charts use the stated reporting currency. When a chart comparison spans currencies, money and EPS can be normalized to USD using a recent captured FX snapshot; this is for comparison only, not a historical FX restatement. Stock-based compensation is noncash. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital spending, which may include capitalized software. Missing metrics are not estimated or assumed to be zero. Banking and insurance ratios require industry-specific interpretation. Latest restatements may differ from figures in older episodes.
Market context
Price history loads separately.
Illustrative price = your earnings-per-share assumption × your P/E assumption. This is not a price target or a complete valuation model.
Starting assumptions, when available, use provider forward estimates as of 2026-11-11. Negative earnings require a different valuation method. This calculation omits balance-sheet, dilution and execution risks.
