Jabil Beats Q3 Estimates, Lifts FY Outlook as AI Infrastructure Surges
Summary
Jabil reported preliminary Q3 results that exceeded analyst expectations, with revenue reaching $8.75 billion against a $8.61 billion consensus and adjusted EPS of $3.16 compared to $3.10. The company significantly raised its full-year 2026 outlook, now projecting $35 billion in net revenue and core EPS of $12.70, alongside higher core operating margin and free cash flow. This strong performance is primarily fueled by robust demand in AI infrastructure, a key growth area, and better-than-expected results in its Automotive and Connected Living segments. This news follows an 8-K filing earlier today that also indicated exceeded Q3 expectations and raised full-year guidance, reinforcing a positive trend seen in previous quarters and a recent strategic alliance for AI infrastructure. The updated guidance and strong Q3 beat materially improve the company's financial outlook.
