Celestica (CLS) is trading higher as the market positions ahead of its first-quarter 2026 earnings report, which is scheduled for release after market close on Monday, April 27, 2026. The company will discuss results on a webcast and conference call at 8:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. (corporate.celestica.com)

Expectations are elevated after Celestica’s most recent quarterly report (Q4 and full-year 2025), when it posted revenue and adjusted EPS above the high end of guidance and raised its 2026 annual outlook. Management tied the improved outlook to strengthening demand for AI-related data-center technologies and also said it planned to increase 2026 capital investments to about $1 billion.

With the stock up sharply into the event, investors are likely to focus on three swing factors: (1) whether Q1 results land at or above guidance ranges given on January 28, (2) any change to the raised 2026 outlook, and (3) commentary on AI infrastructure demand visibility and capacity expansion pacing. In the prior update, the company guided Q1 2026 revenue of $3.85–$4.15 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.95–$2.15, and lifted 2026 revenue and adjusted EPS targets. (corporate.celestica.com)

The key near-term catalyst is the Q1 2026 results release after the April 27 close and the April 28 morning call, which can reset expectations on growth and margins and potentially drive a larger move than the pre-positioning rally. (corporate.celestica.com)
