1207 ET - Celestica's $3.45 billion equity raise materially de-risks the electronics manufacturing services company's AI ramp-up with long-term permanent capital, says CIBC's Todd Coupland. The analyst notes that proforma cash rises to $3.9 billion, compared with $740 million of debt, bringing its liquidity to $5.7 billion including the recently upsized revolver. "This removes any funding constraints and supports faster scaling into hyperscaler and AI-native demand," he says. All the while, the analyst sees Celestica "in positive revision territory" as visibility, customer breadth and share gains improve. So far, the analyst estimates that its customers include Google, Meta and Amazon, and says that "at least two new customers/platforms, OpenAI and AMD Helios, [will] each contribute more than 10% of revenue."
