Why now
Electronic Components · market cap $37.4b. Down 37% from 52-week high of $474.03 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +47% — in hypergrowth territory. 17 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $473.26 (implying +60% upside).
Moat
ROE 45% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which.
Risk
Down 37% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Beta 1.52 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return. Trailing P/E 36x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
Horizon
1-3 yr $473.26 (17-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $692.90 at ~18% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $1,028 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Analyst estimate revisions

30-day change+0.5%
90-day change+0.9%
Forward EPS estimate$19.55

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect CLS to earn is essentially unchanged. 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.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

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

Celestica, Inc. (CLS) is a Electronic Components company that scores 67.2 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 336% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 57% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is CLS a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores CLS 67.2 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 67.2 on Bull Rankings?

The score is carried by growth at 94.8 out of 100, and held back by value at 43.4 — the three pillars 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 $296.55, CLS sits about 336% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 57% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 36.3x 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?

Down 37% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Beta 1.52 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return. Trailing P/E 36x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
