TTM Technologies delivered robust financial results for fiscal year 2025, with significant growth across key metrics, primarily fueled by strong demand in the data center computing (especially generative AI) and aerospace & defense sectors. The company's strategic investments in new advanced technology PCB manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Malaysia underscore its commitment to future growth and supply chain diversification. The authorization of a new $100 million share repurchase program signals confidence in future cash flow and a commitment to shareholder returns. While the loss of a 0% tax incentive in Malaysia is a notable headwind, the overall positive performance and strategic initiatives position the company favorably.
