Summary

Jabil reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 results that exceeded expectations across all key metrics, with revenue of $8.8 billion and core diluted EPS of $3.16. Management attributed the outperformance to extremely strong demand in AI infrastructure and better-than-expected recovery in previously pressured segments like Automotive and Connected Living.

The company raised its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance to $35 billion in revenue and $12.70 core EPS, with adjusted free cash flow now expected to exceed $1.4 billion. The guidance raise reflects management's increased confidence in AI-related revenue, which they described as "meaningfully higher" for the full year.

Fourth-quarter guidance calls for sequential revenue growth at the midpoint, and management expressed optimism about the setup heading into fiscal 2027. The company continues to generate strong cash flow, producing $1,269 million from operations in the nine-month period while returning $891 million to shareholders through buybacks and investing $852 million in acquisitions including Hanley Energy Group. The combination of AI infrastructure momentum and portfolio stabilization positions Jabil for sustained growth.
