Jabil, Inc. (JBL) Hit a 52 Week High, Can the Run Continue?

Shares of Jabil (JBL) have been strong performers lately, with the stock up 30.9% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $227.54 in the previous session. Jabil has gained 57.1% since the start of the year compared to the 8.2% gain for the Zacks Computer and Technology sector and the 47.6% return for the Zacks Electronics - Manufacturing Services industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?

The stock has a great record of positive earnings surprises, as it hasn't missed our earnings consensus estimate in any of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on June 17, 2025, Jabil reported EPS of $2.55 versus consensus estimate of $2.33.

For the current fiscal year, Jabil is expected to post earnings of $9.36 per share on $29.05 in revenues. This represents a 10.25% change in EPS on a 0.58% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $11.09 per share on $30.72 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 18.45% and 5.75%, respectively.

Valuation Metrics

While Jabil has moved to its 52-week high in the recent past, investors need to be asking, what is next for the company? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as they provide investors with an additional way to sort through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. Investors should consider the style scores a valuable tool that can help you to pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

Jabil has a Value Score of B. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are B and C, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 24.2X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is a premium to the peer industry average of 22.2X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 14.6X versus its peer group's average of 15.3X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 1.46. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.

Zacks Rank

We also need to look at the Zacks Rank for the stock, as this supersedes any trend on the style score front. Fortunately, Jabil currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) thanks to favorable earnings estimate revisions from covering analysts.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Jabil meets the list of requirements. Thus, it seems as though Jabil shares could have a bit more room to run in the near term.
