🟡 HOLD — Hold; growth is real but the price already reflects it, and the AI cycle could cool.

Celestica is a Canadian electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company that designs, manufactures, and supports electronic products for customers in the data center, communications, industrial, and aerospace and defense sectors. Celestica shows explosive growth (revenue +62.4%, earnings +74.2%) with exceptional return on capital (ROE 52.69%), but its current valuation (P/E 38.02) already prices in much of that growth, and the forward P/E of 18.75 suggests the market expects a slowdown.
