On September 30, Jabil Circuit fell 5.12% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $303.95/share, with turnover of approximately $30.01 million.
On the news front, the company released its fiscal Q4 and full-year results before the market open. Despite a comprehensive beat on both earnings and forward guidance, the stock came under selling pressure in what appears to be a classic profit-taking reaction. Specifically, Q4 core EPS came in at $4.40, up 33.7% year-over-year, surpassing the consensus estimate of $4.06 by 8.4%. Q4 net revenue reached $10.62 billion, a 28.7% year-over-year increase, well above the $9.71 billion analyst estimate. For the full fiscal year, the company delivered net revenue of $36 billion, non-GAAP core EPS of $13.09, and adjusted free cash flow of approximately $1.6 billion.
Forward guidance was equally strong: Jabil Circuit expects fiscal 2027 net revenue of $44.5 billion versus the FactSet consensus of $42.82 billion, and core EPS of $17.55 versus the $16.87 estimate. Fiscal Q1 guidance also topped expectations. Prior to the report, the stock had risen substantially from its 52-week low of $189.60, potentially setting the stage for near-term profit-taking despite the robust fundamentals.
