Why now
Electronic Components · market cap $45.7b. Down 24% from 52-week high of $474.03 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +28% — in hypergrowth territory. 18 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $473.91 (implying +31% upside).
Moat
ROE 53% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which.
Risk
Trailing P/E 38x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
Horizon
1-3 yr $473.91 (18-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $693.86 at ~14% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $1,029 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Analyst estimate revisions

90-day change+1.8%
Forward EPS estimate$19.65

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect CLS to earn is drifting higher (+1.8%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A fiscal-year roll fell inside this window: the forward horizon moved on to the next financial year, which shifts the earnings figure without any analyst changing their view. That step is excluded, so the number above covers the rest of the window rather than all of it.

Celestica Inc. (CLS): score, valuation & FAQ

Celestica Inc. (CLS) is an Electronic Components company that scores 68.4 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Rev (A-) and PEG (B+). On valuation, CLS sits about 376% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 60% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten.

Is CLS a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores CLS 68.4 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by Rev (A-) and PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Celestica Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does CLS score 68.4 on Bull Rankings?

The score leans on growth at 94.7 out of 100, with value the weakest pillar at 45.5 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. CLS earns its highest marks on Rev (A-) and PEG (B+). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so CLS is measured against Electronic Components peers, not against the market as a whole.

Is CLS overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $362.16, CLS sits about 376% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 60% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 37.6x P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in CLS?

Trailing P/E 38x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
