Celestica said on Friday, October 30, 2026, that the Toronto Stock Exchange has granted final acceptance for a new normal course issuer bid. Under the plan, the company may repurchase up to 3,132,127 common shares, equal to about 2.5 percent of the public float measured on October 20, according to the company's SEC filing.
Buyback begins in November
The authorization is scheduled to run from November 3, 2026, through November 2, 2027, or until the permitted purchases are completed. Celestica said purchases may take place on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, other designated exchanges and alternative Canadian trading systems, subject to applicable rules and market prices.
Daily purchases on the Toronto Stock Exchange will generally be limited to 109,076 shares. The company said the limit reflects average daily trading volume of about 436,307 shares during the six months ended September 30, 2026. Repurchased shares will be cancelled.
Cash use remains a focus
Celestica plans to fund the program with existing cash resources, draws on its credit facility or other available borrowing. An automatic share purchase plan with a designated broker is intended to support purchases during regulatory restrictions or company blackout periods.
Celestica stock traded at 232.00 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 6:49 p.m. CEST on Friday, October 30, 2026. Investors will assess the buyback alongside the company's strong expansion plans and the financing needs associated with higher capacity and working capital.
