TE Connectivity posted revenue and profit growth in its first quarter on the back of strong industrial and transportation demand.

The electronics and industrial technology company posted on Wednesday a rise in net income to $750 million, or $2.53 a share, for the three months ended Dec. 26, compared with $528 million, or $1.75 a share, in the same quarter a year ago.

Adjusted earnings were $2.72 a share. According to FactSet, analysts were expecting $2.54 a share.

Net sales rose to $4.67 million from $3.84 million. Analysts expected $4.52 billion. The company credits the growth to its industrial and transportation segments.

Chief Executive Terrence Curtin said TE is seeing momentum as its investments in data and power-connectivity technologies are paying off, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, energy grid modernization, and next‑generation vehicles.

"Our positioning and team execution resulted in record quarterly orders of over $5 billion, setting up TE for another year of strong growth and margin expansion," Curtin said.

Looking ahead to the second quarter, the company expects a 13% increase in revenue to $4.7 billion, representing a 6% organic growth over the same period. Analysts on FactSet expect revenue for the period to rise to $4.72 billion.

Adjusted earnings per share is forecasted to come in at $2.65, up 20% year over year, and ahead of analyst forecasts of $2.63.

EPS from continuing operations is projected to come in at $2.26.
