Celestica Stock: Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Celestica Stock: Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Celestica (TSX:CLS), once a hidden gem in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector, has been caught in the whirlwind of recent market volatility. The $6.5 billion company is a key supply chain and manufacturing partner to technology firms and it has richly benefitted from rapid demand growth for AI-related hardware. As investors reassess their positions in AI-driven stocks, Celestica's near-term future is shrouded in uncertainty. But is the recent sell-off an overreaction, a sign of a broader trend, or a lucrative buying opportunity on Celestica stock? Let's dive into the details.
天弘科技（tsx:cls）曾是人工智能（ai）板塊中的一個潛力股，但最近市場的波動讓其難逃厄運。作爲科技公司的關鍵供應鏈和製造合作伙伴，這家市值爲65億美元的公司受益於人工智能硬件需求的迅速增長。隨着投資者對人工智能驅動型股票的頭寸重新評估，天弘科技的短期未來充滿了不確定性。但最近的拋售是否是一種過度反應，是更廣泛趨勢的跡象，還是一個賺錢良機？讓我們深入了解詳情。
Celestica stock had a bad week that culminated in a 10.2% one-day decline on Friday, September 6, 2024. The drop somewhat mirrored another AI stock Broadcom's 10.3% slide during a choppy trading session as investors digested weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data. Fears of a potentially weak American market stoked some investor fears of bad economic times, and there are a few reasons why sellers could be right.
天弘科技股票上週表現糟糕，9月6日星期五一天下跌10.2%。與此同時，另一隻人工智能股票博通（Broadcom）在一個波動的交易日中下跌10.3%，投資者消化了低於預期的美國就業數據。對於美國市場潛在疲軟的擔憂引發了一些投資者對經濟不景氣的擔憂，以下是賣出天弘科技股票的幾個原因。
Let's evaluate some reasons to sell and (potentially) take some profits off Celestica stock, some justifications for holding, and my preferred Buy recommendation on CLS stock.
讓我們評估一些賣出天弘科技股票的原因（可能獲利），一些持有的理由，以及我對天弘科技股票的買入推薦。
2 reasons to sell Celestica stock right now
現在有兩個賣出天弘科技股票的理由
Celestica is caught up in a sell-off of highly appreciated AI stocks, which have been on a rollercoaster lately. The stock rebounded with a 6% gain in early trading on Monday, but may sustain further weakness if AI-themed stocks renew their slide during the week. If your holding period is only a few weeks to a few months long, it may be prudent to take some profits on CLS stock as it undergoes some near-term weakness despite sowing strong revenue and earnings growth.
天弘科技捲入了一輪高度讚賞的人工智能股票拋售中，這些股票最近一直在過山車上。週一早盤，該股反彈6%，但如果人工智能主題股在本週繼續下滑，可能會繼續走弱。如果你的持有期只有幾周到幾個月，儘管天弘科技創造了強勁的營業收入和盈利增長，但在短期內出現了一些弱勢，可能明智地在CLS股票上獲利一些。
Further, a recession may be very bad for the company. Celestica's business is highly cyclical and volatile as technology sector customers may cancel and reduce orders as their near-term customer demand forecasts go down. Investors skeptical about the near-term health of the U.S. economy may take some profits off the table now.
此外，經濟衰退可能對該公司非常不利。天弘科技的業務高度週期性和波動性較大，由於技術行業客戶的近期客戶需求預測下降，可能會取消和減少訂單。對於對美國經濟近期健康狀況持懷疑態度的投資者，現在可以獲利一些。
Why hold onto CLS stock through its current turbulence
爲什麼要在天弘科技目前的動盪中持有CLS股票
Volatility spikes are a natural phenomenon, especially on technology stocks experiencing hypergrowth phases. However, short-term volatility eventually gives way to enthusiasm. Even if Celestica stock remains volatile, today's volatility may mean nothing to long-term-oriented investors who will hold the stock over the next five or more years.
波動性飆升是一種自然現象，尤其是對於正在經歷高速增長階段的科技股。然而，短期波動性最終會讓位於熱情。即使天弘科技股票仍然波動，今天的波動性對於長期取向的投資者來說可能毫無意義，他們將在未來五年甚至更長時間持有該股票。
If you follow a buy-and-hold long-term strategy, there is plenty of room for Celestica stock to rise towards your price target if it keeps delivering stellar revenue and earnings results, as it has been doing lately. Investors shouldn't let short-term volatility ruin their retirement investment plans, and if your risk tolerance levels haven't declined, you can hold onto the stock and avoid panicking during market sell-offs.
如果您遵循買入並持有長期策略，只要天弘科技繼續提供出色的營業收入和盈利業績（就像最近一直在做的那樣），這支股票還有很大的上漲空間，接近您的價格目標。投資者不應該讓短期波動破壞他們的養老投資計劃，如果您的風險容忍水平沒有下降，您可以繼續持有股票，並在市場拋售時避免恐慌。
I'd rather buy more stock, increase my stake, and sit out the bad market weather.
我寧願買更多股票，增加我的股份，並避開惡劣的市場環境。
2 reasons to buy Celestica stock right now
現在買入天弘科技股票的兩個理由
Investors can buy the dip on Celestica stock as it experiences rapid revenue and earnings growth, and for its cheap valuation today.
投資者可以趁天弘科技股票經歷迅速的營業收入和盈利增長，並且其估值今天很便宜時，買入這隻股票。
Celestica is currently experiencing an explosive revenue growth spurt on the back of strong demand for artificial intelligence-related data centre switchgear and networking products. The company's largest revenue segment, the connectivity and cloud solutions segment, saw a 51% year-over-year surge in quarterly sales by June this year. Overall, second-quarter revenue growth of 23% lifted the company's quarterly sales to multi-year highs, and management raised its revenue guidance for the year.
天弘科技目前正在經歷爆炸式的營業收入增長，這主要得益於對人工智能相關數據中心開關設備和網絡產品的強勁需求。該公司最大的營收板塊——連接性和雲解決方案板塊，截至今年6月，季度銷售額同比增長51%。總體而言，第二季度的營收增長了23%，使該公司季度銷售額達到多年來的新高，並且管理層提高了全年的營收指引。
CLS Revenue (Quarterly) data by YCharts
天弘科技的季度營收數據由YCharts提供
Bay street analysts forecast a strong 25.2% annual earnings growth rate for Celestica over the next five years – a desirable attribute for a growth stock worth buying and holding in a portfolio.
貝街分析師預測，未來五年天弘科技的年收益將呈現強勁的25.2%增長率，這是一種值得在投資組合中買入並持有的成長股特徵。
Most noteworthy, Celestica stock looks too cheap to ignore right now. Its historical price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 13.5, which is well below the industry average of 30.7. Further, shares appear undervalued given a forward price-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of 0.5. Generally, PEG ratios under 1 imply a stock is undervalued given its earnings growth potential.
值得一提的是，天弘科技股票看起來現在太便宜而不容忽視。其歷史市盈率（P/E）爲13.5，遠低於行業平均水平30.7。此外，根據前瞻性市盈率增長率（PEG）的數據，股票似乎被低估，其PEG比率爲0.5。一般而言，PEG比率低於1意味着股票被低估，考慮到其盈利增長潛力。
Investor takeaway
投資者可以從Chartwell Retirement Residences中獲得更多資本增值，並在自己的黃金歲月中獲得豐厚的派息。
Celestica's fundamentals haven't deteriorated and volatility spikes will calm down, yet the AI stock looks undervalued for long-term-oriented investors to buy and hold it for potential gains.
天弘科技的基本面沒有惡化，波動率的激增會穩定下來，但是這隻人工智能股票在長期導向投資者來說看起來被低估了，可以買入並持有以獲取潛在的收益。
