Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains statements and information which constitute "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking information" (within the meaning of applicable securities legislation). Such statements and information (together, "forward-looking statements") relate to future events, including the Corporation's future performance, business prospects or opportunities. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, unless otherwise indicated. IPC does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws.
All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, forecasts, guidance, budgets, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", 'forecast', "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe", "budget" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the ability and willingness of IPC to continue the NCIB, including the number of common shares to be acquired and cancelled and the timing of such purchases and cancellations; and the return of value to IPC's shareholders as a result of any common share repurchases.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by IPC, including expectations and assumptions concerning: prevailing commodity prices and currency exchange rates; applicable royalty rates and tax laws; interest rates; future well production rates and reserve and contingent resource volumes; operating costs; our ability to maintain our existing credit ratings; our ability to achieve our performance targets; the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals; the performance of existing wells; the success obtained in drilling new wells; anticipated timing and results of capital expenditures; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the timing, location and extent of future drilling operations; the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions and that we will be able to implement our standards, controls, procedures and policies in respect of any acquisitions and realize the expected synergies on the anticipated timeline or at all; the benefits of acquisitions; the state of the economy and the exploration and production business in the jurisdictions in which IPC operates and globally; the availability and cost of financing, labour and services; our intention to complete share repurchases under our normal course issuer bid program, including the funding of such share repurchases, existing and future market conditions, including with respect to the price of our common shares, and compliance with respect to applicable limitations under securities laws and regulations and stock exchange policies; and the ability to market crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids successfully.
Although IPC believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because IPC can give no assurances that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to: general global economic, market and business conditions; the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to reserves, resources, production, revenues, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price fluctuations; interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation; loss of markets; environmental and climate-related risks; competition; innovation and cybersecurity risks related to our systems, including our costs of addressing or mitigating such risks; the ability to attract, engage and retain skilled employees; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; failure to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or dispositions; the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; failure to obtain required regulatory and other approvals; geopolitical conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia and the conflict in the Middle East, and their potential impact on, among other things, global market conditions; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalties and environmental regulations. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
Additional information on these and other factors that could affect IPC, or its operations or financial results, are included in IPC's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2023 (See 'Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information", 'Risks Factors' and "Reserves and Resources Advisory' therein), in the management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 (See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information", 'Risks Factors' and "Reserves and Resources Advisory" therein) and other reports on file with applicable securities regulatory authorities, including previous financial reports, management's discussion and analysis and material change reports, which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website (www.sedarplus.ca) or IPC's website (www.international-petroleum.com).Sign in to access your portfolio

Is It Too Late to Buy Celestica Stock?

Written by Aditya Raghunath at The Motley Fool Canada Valued at a market cap of $33 billion, Celestica (TSX:CLS) is a TSX stock that has been on an absolute tear in the last 12 months, rising close to 300%. Moreover, in the past decade, Celestica stock has returned an emphatic 1,560%, crushing broader market returns by a wide margin. As past returns are not reflective of future gains, let's see if you should own this TSX tech stock at the current valuation. How did Celestica stock perform in Q2 2025? Celestica is a global electronics manufacturing services provider offering comprehensive supply chain solutions through two segments: Advanced Technology Solutions and Connectivity and Cloud Solutions. It provides design, development, manufacturing, assembly, testing, systems integration, and after-market services to original equipment manufacturers and cloud service providers. Celestica serves diverse markets, including the aerospace and defence, industrial, HealthTech, capital equipment, communications, and enterprise sectors, with particular strength in hyperscale data centre infrastructure manufacturing. Celestica stock represents a compelling investment opportunity as the company rides the unprecedented wave of AI-driven data centre expansion. The electronics manufacturing services provider delivered exceptional Q2 results, with revenue of $2.9 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $1.39, both exceeding guidance ranges. The investment thesis centers on Celestica's dominant position in networking infrastructure for hyperscale customers. Its Communications and Cloud Solutions (CCS) segment grew by 28% year-over-year, driven by explosive demand for 800G networking switches alongside continued strength in 400G products. Notably, 800G volumes reached parity with 400G in Q2, with every major 400G customer transitioning to 800G platforms. This positions Celestica to capture market share gains as hyperscalers like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft rapidly expand their AI infrastructure. Management remains optimistic about near-term growth as it forecasts revenue of $11.6 billion in 2025, an increase of 20% year over year. Comparatively, adjusted earnings are forecast to increase by 20% to $5.50 per share. Celestica reported an operating margin of 7.4% in Q2, a quarterly record and expects free cash flow to total $400 million this year. Celestica's competitive moat stems from its globally diversified manufacturing footprint across 16 countries, providing customers with supply chain resilience and geographic flexibility. The company has proven manufacturing readiness with capacity to support $3–4 billion in additional revenue across key locations, including Thailand, Mexico, and Texas. This scalability advantage is crucial as hyperscalers continue aggressive capital expenditure spending on AI infrastructure. Is the TSX stock still undervalued? Analysts tracking Celestica stock forecast revenue to rise from $9.6 billion in 2024 to $19.2 billion in 2028. Its adjusted earnings are forecast to expand from $3.88 per share to $11.2 per share in this period. Today, the TSX tech stock trades at 34 times forward earnings, which is much higher compared to its historical multiple of 10.4 times. If CLS stock is priced at 30 times forward earnings, it should trade around $336 in early 2028, indicating upside potential of 18% from current levels. The secular tailwinds supporting Celestica's growth remain robust. Hyperscaler customers are in early innings of multi-year AI infrastructure buildouts, with recent capital expenditure increases from major cloud providers validating the sustained demand environment. The upcoming transition to 1.6T networking and next-generation AI/ML compute platforms provides additional growth catalysts extending through 2026–2027. Trading at reasonable valuations despite exceptional fundamentals, Celestica stock offers investors direct exposure to the AI infrastructure boom through a proven execution partner with market-leading capabilities, strong customer relationships, and operating leverage at volume scale.
