Jabil is a manufacturing services company with digital prototyping, printed electronics, device integration, circuit designing, and volume board assembly services. They have a broad end-market exposure from automotive and healthcare to data centers and aerospace. They are integrally tied to Apple as they make encasements for the company’s iPhones and iPads. They have also expanded into the Watch in recent years and now about one fifth of all sales. JBL is also benefitting from growth in 5G infrastructure and cloud adoption which is moving more customers towards designing test capabilities and utilizing JBL’s services.  The biggest risk to the quarter remains supply chain disruptions to guidance but overall demand should remain solid. Analysts have an average target for shares for $57 with a Street High $80. Citi positive on 9/24 noting that the newly launched iPhone models, Apple Watch, iPad, and AirTags could give Jabil a nice boost as Apple accounts for 20% of its total sales.
