AI infrastructure investment is booming, and stellar earnings from two leading companies confirm this trend.
Teradyne $TER
The company makes testing equipment for semiconductors and robotics.
They just beat Q3 revenue with $769.2 million against the expectations of $743.8 million. It now expects growth to pick up from here to 27%, citing AI-related test demand and its impact across its compute, networking and memory segments. It expects revenue for current quarter of between $920 and $1 billion, ahead of the $815.3 million analysts expected.
Celestica $CLS
The company makes connectivity and cloud solutions. The company boosted its outlook and reported a gain in Q3 revenue and profit driven by growing demand for artificial intelligence hyperscalers. The electronics manufacturing services company now expects Q4 revenue of $3.33 billion to $3.58 billion, with adjusted EPS between $1.65 and $1.81. Analysts were expecting revenue of $3.08 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.51.
CFO Mandeep Chawla on an earnings call credited the rise in Celestica’s outlook to the ramping up of a next-generation program for hyperscaler application in AI and machine learning computing power, which is the hardware resources used to train, run, and scale the software. Celestica is seeing its largest and fastest-growing market presence within AI data centers, where it supports high-performance networking and customer computing platforms.
