Upturn Advisory & Investor View for JBL

11/13/2026: JBL (4-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Jabil Circuit Inc is a global electronics manufacturing services provider that builds and manages complex supply chains for large industrial, healthcare, and technology brands. The company has a leading position in contract manufacturing, with a growing emphasis on high-margin sectors like data center infrastructure and medical devices. A key investment story is its strategic shift toward specialized, more stable industries that offer higher profitability than traditional consumer electronics. However, investors must weigh these opportunities against the company's low operating margins, high customer concentration, and the cyclical nature of its business. Jabil may suit investors looking for industrial exposure with a reliable dividend and steady operational management.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
JBL receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
JBL has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+58.6%) and solid revenue growth (+20.6%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 3.8%), soft profitability (net margin 2.9%), modest insider ownership of 1.27%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
JBL's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.4B (3.8% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is JBL's strongest growth driver at +58.6% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+20.6%, solid) and free-cash-flow growth (+17.2%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 100.1% and approximately 97.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.27% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 9.84%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.69%
Yale Capital Corp 6.10%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.28%
State Street Corp 4.79%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
JBL generates approximately $92 of gross profit, $47 of operating income, and $38 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Weak margins and moderate cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is strong.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 26.14%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
JBL has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
