CommScope Holding Company Inc. (COMM) saw its stock price surge by a remarkable 24.34% on Wednesday, following the release of its better-than-expected fourth quarter 2024 financial results. The telecommunications equipment maker reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.18 for the quarter, significantly surpassing analysts' consensus estimate of $0.03.

The stellar quarterly performance was primarily driven by robust growth across CommScope's business segments, particularly in the Cloud and Data Center Solutions (CCS) division. The company reported a 36.3% year-over-year increase in CCS net sales, fueled by strong demand from hyperscale and cloud data centers supporting the rapid expansion of AI and generative AI applications worldwide.

Treadway also expressed optimism about CommScope's future prospects, particularly in the autonomous driving and robotaxi markets.
