TE Connectivity plc (TEL), headquartered in Ballybrit, Ireland, manufactures and sells connectivity and sensor solutions. Valued at $50.5 billion by market cap, the company offers a broad range of connectivity and sensor solutions that enable the distribution of power, signal, and data for transportation, renewable energy, data centers, medical technology, and automated factories. The global industrial technology leader is expected to announce its fiscal third-quarter earnings for 2025 before the market opens on Wednesday, Jul. 23.
Ahead of the event, analysts expect TEL to report a profit of $2.07 per share on a diluted basis, up 8.4% from $1.91 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company has met or surpassed Wall Street’s EPS estimates in its last four quarterly reports.
For the full year, analysts expect TEL to report EPS of $8.25, up 9.1% from $7.56 in fiscal 2024. Its EPS is expected to rise 9.2% year over year to $9.01 in fiscal 2026.
TEL stock has outperformed the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 13% gains over the past 52 weeks, with shares up 15.7% during this period. Similarly, it outperformed the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLK) 10.7% gains over the same time frame.
TE Connectivity's strong performance is driven by the increasing demand for connectivity solutions in key markets such as AI, automotive electrification, and industrial automation. TEL's momentum in AI applications, including digital data networks, and acquisitions like Harger have strengthened its portfolio and positioned it for substantial revenue growth exceeding $600 million in fiscal 2025.
On Apr. 23, TEL reported its Q2 results, and its shares closed up more than 5% in the following trading session. Its adjusted EPS of $2.10 exceeded Wall Street expectations of $1.96. The company’s revenue was $4.1 billion, exceeding Wall Street forecasts of $4 billion. For Q3, TEL expects its adjusted EPS to be $2.06, and expects revenue to be $4.3 billion.
Analysts’ consensus opinion on TEL stock is moderately bullish, with a “Moderate Buy” rating overall. Out of 14 analysts covering the stock, nine advise a “Strong Buy” rating, and five give a “Hold.” While TEL currently trades above its mean price target of $165.43, the Street-high price target of $185 suggests a upside potential of 6.7%.
