This Is What Whales Are Betting On Celestica

Celestica's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLS#NYSE">CLS</a>) short percent of float has risen 13.1% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.05 million shares sold short, which is 3.54% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.21 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Celestica's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.42%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

What Does the Market Think About Celestica?

As broader U.S. equity funds suffered their largest weekly outflow of $18.43 billion since March this week, according to LSEG Lipper as cited by Reuters, one corner of the market quietly shined: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">sector ETFs</a>. Despite the risk-off mood driven by intensifying Israel-Iran tensions and uncertainty around U.S. tariffs, investors poured money into focused plays, signaling a tactical rotation rather than a wholesale retreat.

Tech and industrial ETFs were the week's breakout stars, absorbing $1.85 billion and $445 million in inflows, respectively. This marks the fourth straight week of sectoral ETF gains, even as large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap equity funds all bled red ink.
So, where is the &#8220;smart&#8221; money flowing, and why?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sector ETFs To Watch</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Technology ETFs: Betting On Resilience And AI Tailwinds</h3>
Tech continues to draw interest as investors seek exposure to innovation and growth even in uncertain times. The sector&#8217;s relative insulation from geopolitical strife and the ongoing AI boom likely contributed to this surge.

<li>Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>): A solid all-around industrials fund with exposure to companies like Raytheon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>).</li>

</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financials Falter, But Don't Count Them Out</h3>
While the tech and industrial boats raced ahead on tailwinds, financial ETFs saw $1.22 billion in outflows, suggesting investor unease about profitability under sticky inflation and a "higher for longer" interest rate regime. One can consider keeping an eye on the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), but only if rate and lending conditions stabilize.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway</h2>
Investors aren't abandoning the market, they're just getting choosier. With geopolitics and economic uncertainty muddying the waters, sector ETFs are emerging as a tactical safe haven for capital.

As US Equity Funds Bleed $18 Billion, Sector ETFs Offer Tactical Opportunities: XLK, XLI, ROBO In Focus

Bank of America Securities (BofA) analyst Ruplu Bhattacharya maintained Jabil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBL#NYSE">JBL</a>) with a Buy and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JBL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raised the price forecast</a> from&nbsp;$225&nbsp;to&nbsp;$245 on Friday.
Bhattacharya noted that Jabil reported a strong fiscal third quarter of 2025, and the stock gained 42% year-to-date, prompting queries regarding further upside.
According to the analyst, Jabil&#8217;s fiscal 2026 and 2027 revenue estimates could prove conservative, driven by the company&#8217;s strong AI revenues and a recovery in other markets.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/45972232/jabil-raises-sales-and-profit-outlook-announces-500-million-investment-to-expand-footprint" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jabil Raises Sales And Profit Outlook, Announces $500 Million Investment To Expand Footprint</a>
The analyst has been conservative in his forward estimates. He modeled Jabil&#8217;s AI revenues growing to $10.6 billion and $13.3 billion in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, from $8.5 billion in fiscal year 2025.
Bhattacharya&#8217;s projections assumed 25% year-over-year (Y/Y) growth for these two years, which is meaningfully lower than the 50+ Y/Y growth in fiscal 2025.
While the analyst modeled AI revenues growing by $2.1 billion and $2.7 billion in fiscal 2026 and 2027, he modeled total Jabil revenue increasing by $1.7 billion and $2.8 billion.
For fiscal 2026, he assumed the remaining businesses&#8217; net decline Y/Y, and for fiscal 2027, he assumed the remaining businesses&#8217; remain flat Y/Y, which could prove conservative. His estimates for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 revenue and EPS are higher versus the Street.
Revenue from Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) remains strong, and there is a significant opportunity for optical transceivers and AI-related switching, as per Bhattacharya, which is driving potential upside for Jabil.
According to the analyst, Jabil manufactures for more than a dozen end markets and can benefit from new program ramps in healthcare (pharma and med devices) and continued strong revenues in Digital Commerce.
Bhattacharya said that every $1 billion in higher revenue annually, at a mid-single-digit operating margin, can drive $0.40 higher EPS. The analyst noted that the Street has been conservative in modeling earnings.
Fiscal 2025 consensus EPS has increased about $1.00 since the fiscal fourth-quarter 2024 earnings call.
Jabil trades at 18 times Bhattacharya&#8217;s calendar 2026E EPS, a discount to peer Celestica, which trades at 22 times calendar 2026 Street EPS, even though both companies can have similar EPS growth in fiscal 2026. The analyst justified the valuation by citing Jabil&#8217;s lower operating margin compared to Celestica, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLS#NYSE">CLS</a>).
Price Action:&nbsp;JBL shares are trading higher by 0.78% to $206.26 at last check Friday.

Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading higher amid overall market strength due to a rise in NVIDIA, a slight improvement in consumer confidence and as traders await details on potential US trade deals.

Celestica's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLS#NYSE">CLS</a>) short percent of float has risen 10.97% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.94 million shares sold short, which is 3.44% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Celestica Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748970021_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Celestica has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Celestica's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Celestica's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.14%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Celestica has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Celestica's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Celestica's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.93%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

The company posted revenue of $2.65 billion, versus estimates of $2.61 billion. Adjusted earnings came in at $1.20 per share, versus estimates of $1.15 per share.
"Celestica delivered a strong first quarter in 2025, achieving revenue of $2.65 billion and non-GAAP adjusted EPS of $1.20, both surpassing the high end of our guidance ranges.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">We&#8217;re In A Bear Market, And Stocks Have Further To Fall</h2>
That&#8217;s been our basic thesis since early this month. Big market participants (such as Bill Ackman) thought Trump&#8217;s tariffs were a negotiating tack or a bluff. Ergo, the extent of them wasn&#8217;t priced in, and when it was, we would go lower.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/the-64-trillion-question"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="922" height="861" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071148/64-Trillion.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-11681" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071148/64-Trillion.jpg 922w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071148/64-Trillion-300x280.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071148/64-Trillion-768x717.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px" /></a></figure>
Whether it makes sense to balance trade is a separate question. We think it does, as does Warren Buffett and as did the late Intel CEO, Andy Grove. But even if it&#8217;s a good policy, there is going to be a period of painful adjustment.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trading That Thesis&nbsp;</h2>
It&#8217;s a bearish thesis, so we&#8217;ve mainly focused on adding short exposure, with some exceptions. If something looks cheap&#8211;and likely to appreciate, we go long. And we do so on a day when the market is down. We did just that last Monday, placing long term, bullish bets on two Bitcoin-related names. 
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-bitcoin-bull"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="920" height="842" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071408/Bitcoin-Bull.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-11682" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071408/Bitcoin-Bull.jpg 920w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071408/Bitcoin-Bull-300x275.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071408/Bitcoin-Bull-768x703.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px" /></a></figure>
We explained our logic there:&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Bitcoin?</h2>
Because Bitcoin is starting to behave like its own asset class, instead of like a more volatile version of the Nasdaq. While the NASDAQ 100-tracking Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) is down about 3% as I type this, Bitcoin is up about 2.5%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why These Two Stocks?</h2>
Because they are both profitable and cheap, with most of their market caps backed by cash and crypto:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Company A</h3>
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin Holdings: 742.1 BTC, valued at approximately $69.3 million</li>
<li>Ethereum Holdings: 27,623.9 ETH, valued at approximately $92.1 million</li>
<li>Cash and Cash Equivalents: Approximately $98.6 million</li>
<li>Total Market Capitalization: Approximately $325 million</li>
</ul>
Asset Composition Relative to Market Cap:
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin and Ethereum: ~50%</li>
<li>Cash: ~30%</li>
<li>Combined Liquidity (BTC + ETH + Cash): ~80%</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Company B</h3>
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin Holdings: 2,298 BTC, valued at approximately $214.6 million</li>
<li>Cash and Cash Equivalents: Approximately $8.9 million</li>
<li>Total Market Capitalization: Approximately $295 million</li>
</ul>
Asset Composition Relative to Market Cap:
<ul>
<li>Bitcoin: ~73%</li>
<li>Cash: ~3%</li>
<li>Combined (BTC + Cash): ~76%</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
Company B was Semler Scientific, Inc. (SMLR), and it finished the week up more than 15%. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mostly Bearish Bets The Rest Of The Week</h2>
The rest of the week, we mainly added short exposure on market rallies. Specifically, we placed bets against:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>High yield bonds, via the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG)</li>
<li>Trucking companies serving our ports.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Freight forwarders serving American small businesses importing from China.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Other vendors serving those small business.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
We wrapped up the week with another bet against&nbsp;Nvidia Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) as it bounced above $110.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-fading-the-rally-again"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="922" height="815" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071815/Nvidia-Again.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-11683" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071815/Nvidia-Again.jpg 922w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071815/Nvidia-Again-300x265.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/26071815/Nvidia-Again-768x679.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px" /></a></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Balancing Fear And Greed&nbsp;</h2>
We ended the week with three profitable exits, two on bearish trades (including an earlier bet against Nvidia), and one on a bullish put spread on&nbsp;Celestica, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLS#NYSE">CLS</a>).&nbsp;
Options
<ol>
<li>Puts on Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). Bought for $1.81 on 4//14/2025; sold for $2.71 on 4/21/2025. Profit: 50%.</li>
<li>Put spread on Celestica (CLS 0.61%↑). Entered at a net credit of $3.12 on 3/27/2025; exited at a net debit of $2 on 4/25/2025. Profit: 59.6%.</li>
<li>Puts on Nvidia (NVDA -2.83%↓). Bought for $1.56 on 4/9/2025; sold for $4.02 on 4/21/2025. Profit: 158%.</li>
</ol>
Although we were bearish on Monday, we nevertheless decided to take profits on Apple and Nvidia again, as those options were expiring on Friday. In that case, our fear outweighed our greed, and enabled us to have three profitable exits this week instead of just one. We post our trade exits at the end of each week, including our losses. This week, we didn&#8217;t have any exits for losses, which was a welcome change from the previous week.&nbsp;
