Non-GAAP diluted EPS came in at $2.38, ahead of the $2.15 consensus estimate by 10.96%, while revenue of $3.19 billion topped expectations by 3.26% and surged 59.0% year-over-year, with the newly consolidated ZT Systems operations accounting for much of that lift. The deal, which closed during the quarter for $1.36 billion net of cash acquired and financed through $2.20 billion in new long-term debt, brought meaningful near-term headwinds including $49.00 million in inventory fair value step-up charges and $43.36 million in acquisition and integration costs, pushing GAAP operating margin down to 2.3% from 4.4% a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, however, operating margin expanded to 6.0%, reflecting strong demand across Communications Networks and Cloud & AI Infrastructure driven by AI hardware spending. Argus raised its price target on the stock to $200 following the results. Looking ahead, Sanmina guided fiscal Q2 revenue of $3.10 billion to $3.40 billion and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.25 to $2.55, signaling continued integration momentum.
Key Takeaways
- • Strong demand in Communications Networks and Cloud & AI Infrastructure end-markets driven by AI hardware demand
- • ZT Systems acquisition integration tracking in line with expectations
- • Non-GAAP operating margin at 6.0%, at the high end of outlook
- • Solid cash flow from operations of $179 million
