Fabrinet reported Q2 FY26 revenue of $1.1329 billion, up 36% year‑over‑year from $833.6 million in Q2 FY25. GAAP net income rose to $112.6 million, and GAAP diluted EPS reached $3.11. Non‑GAAP EPS of $3.36 beat consensus of $3.26 by $0.10, reflecting disciplined cost management and a favorable mix shift toward higher‑margin optical communications.
Optical communications revenue climbed to $832.6 million, driven by a 59% jump in telecom revenue to $554.4 million and a 42% increase in data‑center interconnect module revenue to $142.2 million. Non‑optical communications grew 61% to $300.3 million, led by a $86.0 million gain in high‑performance computing and $117.0 million in automotive products. The mix shift toward these high‑margin segments helped lift gross margin to 12.4%, flat year‑over‑year, while operating margin improved to 10.9% from 10.6%.
Management guided Q3 FY26 revenue to $1.15 billion–$1.20 billion, GAAP EPS to $3.22–$3.37, and non‑GAAP EPS to $3.45–$3.60, slightly below the upper end of analyst expectations but above the lower end. The guidance signals confidence in continued demand for optical and high‑performance computing solutions, while acknowledging that revenue growth may moderate as the company scales.
CEO Seamus Grady said the quarter was "exceptional" and that "multiple large, key strategic programs across our business all contributed to our outstanding performance." He added that the same drivers are expected to sustain the third quarter, underscoring the company’s focus on high‑growth segments and disciplined cost control.
Gross margin held steady at 12.4% despite higher raw‑material costs, indicating effective pricing power. Operating margin expansion to 10.9% reflects improved operational leverage as revenue scales, while net margin of 9.77% demonstrates efficient overall cost management. The company’s ability to maintain margins amid a mix shift toward higher‑margin segments positions it well for future growth.
