What Happened?
Shares of electronics manufacturing services provider Jabil (NYSE:JBL) jumped 9% in the pre-market session after the company reported strong first-quarter (Q2 2025) results that significantly blew past analysts' revenue and EPS estimates. The company attributed the strong growth to demand for its capital equipment, cloud and data center businesses.
Despite the outperformance, profits came in softer than expected due to restructuring and severance costs. This helped Jabil beat analysts' EPS expectations. Overall, this was a decent quarter, which showed that the company was staying on track.
After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $146.26, up 4.9% from previous close.
