Where JBL is headed
Jabil exits FY27 as a fundamentally different business than the one the market still files under 'Apple supplier'. The Intelligent Infrastructure segment, which packages photonics, liquid-cooled server racks, optical transceivers, and AI networking gear for the hyperscalers, is on track to clear $20B in annual revenue by late 2027, up from roughly $6B two years ago. That alone reshapes the consolidated margin profile. Group operating margin walks from 4.7% today toward 6.5% as the AI mix dilutes the low-margin mobility legacy that's already been deliberately shrunk through the Mobility divestiture to BYD.
