Celestica jumps as JPMorgan boosts target, cites Helios rack-scale AI visibility
Celestica shares are up about 3% Friday after a fresh bullish JPMorgan note lifted its price target to $295 while reiterating Overweight. The call highlighted increasing visibility tied to Celestica’s rack-scale AI infrastructure opportunity, following the March 16 AMD “Helios” collaboration announcement.
1. What’s moving the stock

2. Why AI rack-scale matters right now
The move comes with Celestica increasingly viewed as a key beneficiary of next-generation data center buildouts that extend beyond semiconductors into systems, networking and integration. Celestica recently announced a collaboration with AMD around the “Helios” rack-scale AI platform, where Celestica is expected to handle R&D, design and manufacturing of scale-up networking switches within the architecture; Helios is expected to be available to customers in late 2026.

3. Context for investor expectations
Celestica’s latest company outlook already frames 2026–2027 as a period of accelerated growth driven by continued data center demand, including ramps for 800G and 1.6T networking and AI/ML compute programs. Today’s buying suggests the market is leaning into the narrative that these program ramps—and rack-scale platform exposure—can extend the company’s growth run into next year. (corporate.celestica.com)
