“Fiscal 2025 was a strong year for Jabil as we grew revenue, delivered solid core margins, increased core diluted EPS, and generated robust free cash flow,” said CEO Mike Dastoor.
“Strength in AI-driven demand across capital equipment, data centers, and networking, combined with deliberate portfolio actions in Connected Living & Digital Commerce, more than offset pressures in Automotive and Renewables, highlighting the resilience of our diversified business model. These results underscore our ability to execute in a dynamic environment while continuing to advance our long-term strategy,” Dastoor added.
Outlook
Jabil expects fiscal first-quarter 2026 net revenue of $7.7 billion-$8.3 billion (compared to analyst estimate of $7.52 billion) and adjusted EPS of $2.47-$2.87 (against consensus estimate of $2.40).
The company projects fiscal 2026 net revenue of $31.3 billion (compared to analyst consensus of $29.12 billion) and adjusted EPS of $11.00 (versus consensus estimate of $9.40).
