Is Jabil a Buy After AI Growth as Valuation Stays Above Its Median?
Jabil Inc. (JBL) projects fiscal 2027 revenues of $44.5 billion (+24% YoY) and core EPS of $17.55 (+34% YoY), driven by AI-related revenues surging 54% to $22.1 billion. The stock trades at 17.2X forward earnings, below industry averages but above its five-year median of 13.8X. While strong growth and margin improvements support the valuation premium, concentration in large customer programs and uneven demand outside infrastructure present execution risks.
