Shares of Fabrinet (FN) surged 9.73% on Monday following the release of the company's impressive first-quarter fiscal 2026 financial results, which exceeded analyst expectations across key metrics. The optical packaging and electronic manufacturing services provider demonstrated strong performance, particularly in its telecom sector, driving investor optimism.
Fabrinet reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.92, comfortably beating the consensus estimate of $2.82. Revenue for the quarter came in at $978.1 million, significantly surpassing analyst projections of $933.7 million. This robust top-line performance represents a substantial 21.6% increase from the $804.2 million reported in the same quarter last year. The company's CEO, Seamus Grady, attributed the record results to "another strong telecom performance, an early contribution from new High-Performance Computing revenue, and a smaller-than-anticipated sequential decline in datacom revenue."
Adding to the positive sentiment, Fabrinet provided an upbeat outlook for the second quarter, projecting revenue between $1.05 billion and $1.10 billion, well above the analyst consensus of $986.78 million. The company also expects second-quarter adjusted earnings per share in the range of $3.15 to $3.30, surpassing the $2.99 analyst estimate. This strong guidance suggests continued momentum and growth for Fabrinet in the near term, further fueling the stock's rally in after-hours trading.
