Celestica Inc. stock down 7.71% in one day
With a market cap of CA$59.47 billion, Celestica's recent performance highlights the volatility that can accompany high-growth stocks in the current market environment.
Bull case
Despite the recent decline, Celestica has shown impressive growth over the past year, with shares soaring 123.9% compared to the industry's 99.3% increase. The company's strong position in the Industrial & Smart Energy market could still provide long-term growth potential.
