The recent analyst focus on profitability and AI exposure reinforces the near term growth story but does not change the key risk that hyperscaler spending or orders from a few large customers could shift abruptly.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">The most relevant recent development is UBS flagging stronger AI-linked demand and faster revenue and earnings growth in 2027, which aligns with Celestica&#8217;s raised 2026 and 2027 revenue targets and expanding AI rack-scale programs. This support from external research sits alongside the company&#8217;s own guidance upgrades and Helios rack-scale AI collaboration with AMD, framing AI infrastructure demand as the central catalyst for Celestica&#8217;s current valuation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Yet, even with all this AI enthusiasm, investors should be aware that Celestica&#8217;s heavy revenue concentration among a handful of hyperscaler customers&#8230;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/community\/narratives\/ca\/tech\/tsx-cls\/celestica-shares\/t67naqgz-cls-share-repurchase-and-ai-demand-will-drive-market-opportunity-forward?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=integrated-pitch&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4725996\" data-ylk=\"slk:Read%20the%20full%20narrative%20on%20Celestica%20(it&#039;s%20free!);elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;source:content-canvas%20default\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Read the full narrative on Celestica (it&#039;s free!)&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yTrafficOrigin&quot;:&quot;content-canvas default&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Read the full narrative on Celestica (it&#8217;s free!)<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Celestica&#8217;s narrative projects $41.7 billion revenue and $2.7 billion earnings by 2029.
