Jabil stock jumped 3.4% to $348.22 on Tuesday after UBS analyst David Vogt upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral, keeping his price target at $430. That target implies about 28% upside from current levels.
The upgrade ended a two-day losing streak for JBL and placed it among the best performers in the S&P 500, which itself slipped 0.1% on the day.
Vogt cited a โmulti-year growth cycle fueled by AI investment from Amazon, Meta, and Googleโ as the core reason for the upgrade.
UBS raised its fiscal 2027 EPS estimate to $16.78 from $15.89, and its fiscal 2028 estimate to $20.24 from $18.34. Revenue estimates for both years were lifted by roughly 6%.
