TE CONNECTIVITY

At the Jefferies conference, TE Connectivity presented a diversified growth strategy in which AI data‑center connectivity makes a strong contribution, but energy, industrial automation, mobility and aerospace/defence also deliver growth. AI orders rose about 70% in 2026 and are estimated to account for roughly 40% of revenue growth, which is expected to continue into 2027, while annual AI growth has eased from 70% to about 33% due to capacity adjustments. The data‑center networking business is around $3bn, with power connectivity making up one third; copper remains central while fiber is used selectively. The energy business expects mid‑teens organic growth, transportation and industrials achieve operating margins around 22%, and further capacity expansions as well as acquisitions are being pursued. » More on de.investing.com

The industrial business contributes about $2.5bn to growth (roughly 80% of total growth), margins are around 22% with expected annual expansion of 30–50 basis points. Free cash flow conversion is near 100%, 30% of FCF is paid as dividends; share buybacks and acquisitions will continue. » More on de.investing.com
