Revenue from
- Hyperscalers · neoclouds (networking · AI racks) High confidence
Supplies 1.6T switches and full-rack AI systems to hyperscalers and neoclouds — the second-hyperscaler 1.6T win signals customer diversification. - Amazon Medium confidence
Networking and AI systems to AWS — a large-customer axis tied to hyperscaler capacity build-out. - enterprise · industrial (EMS) Medium confidence
Enterprise and industrial EMS (CCS/ATS) — a revenue base beyond hyperscalers that softens cycle swings. - Meta Platforms Medium confidence
1.6T switches and AI racks to Meta — a channel directly benefiting from Meta's expanding in-house AI infrastructure.
Pays to
- NVIDIA High confidence
Builds AI/ML servers and full racks (HPS) with NVIDIA GPUs — GPU allocation is effectively the ceiling on AI-system shipments, a core cost and supply dependency. - components · memory · manufacturing (undisclosed) Low confidence
Components, memory and precision assembly — a large slice of white-box ODM cost where sourcing drives margin (undisclosed). - cooling · capacity expansion (undisclosed) Low confidence
Liquid-cooling systems and capacity investment — the bottleneck for delivering dense AI racks, where cooling capacity caps full-rack (HPS) shipments.

YTD as of 2026-09-04 · source: Yahoo Finance
Celestica operates across NYSE, AI-infra ODM, 1.6T switches & full racks. After a spike in 2023-24 +159.8% / +215.2%, gains cooled to +220.3% in 2025 and +5.7% in 2026. Demand side (avg +2.8%), the stock (+5.7%) and supply side (avg +23.7%) are moving in step. Propagation has completed a lap, so the next leg depends on individual results more than chain direction. Among connected nodes the furthest ahead is NVIDIA (+23.7%) and the furthest behind is Meta Platforms (-6.4%). If chain logic explains the gap, the laggard is the next propagation candidate; if not, the link itself deserves a second look. With white-box switches and AI/ML servers, an ODM axis distinct from Cisco and Dell.
