Technical Analysis (Educational)
Research

Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what JBL's chart says today, with each tool explained.

Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. JBL trades near $377.24, above its 50-day average ($348.65) and 200-day average ($260.72). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.

Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 53 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.

MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.

Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. JBL's is $21.12 (~5.6% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.

Support & resistance. Over the last month JBL found buyers near $341.47 (support) and sellers near $428.93 (resistance); its 52-week range is $189.60–$428.93. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.

Volume. The latest session traded 2.1× the 20-day average — heavier than usual, which adds conviction to the move. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Revenue Growth
Research

4Y CAGR

0.4%

Revenue moved from $29.29B in 2021 to $29.80B in 2025, a 0.4% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year grew a strong 19.0% year over year. Consistent top-line growth is one sign of healthy demand.

Profitability
Research

Gross Margin

8.9%

Operating Margin

4.0%

Net Margin

2.2%

ROE

59.0%

Jabil keeps about 2.5% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 8.9% gross margin and 4.0% operating margin. Return on equity is 59.0% and return on invested capital about 18.0%. Thin margins leave less cushion if costs rise.

Debt Analysis
Research

Total Debt

$3.88B

Net Debt

$2.05B

Net Debt / EBITDA

1.73x

Debt / Equity

2.15x

Leverage: debt-to-equity is 2.1x, and operating profit covers interest about 7.8x, with a current ratio of 1.0x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $3.88B of total debt against $1.83B of cash.

Cash Flow Analysis
Research

Operating CF

$1.64B

Free Cash Flow

$1.17B

FCF Margin

3.9%

In the latest year Jabil produced about $1.64B of operating cash flow and $1.17B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 3.4% on today's price. Cash flow is what ultimately pays shareholders, so it is worth tracking over time.

Valuation Analysis
Research

P/E

48.5x

P/S

1.33x

P/B

14.39x

EV / EBITDA

22.45x

JBL trades at 48.5x trailing earnings (about 34.6x on estimated forward earnings), 1.3x sales, and 14.4x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly 5.8% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is a rich multiple that prices in a lot of future growth.

Bull Case

The case for JBL:

  • Revenue is growing 19.0% a year, a sign of real demand.
  • Strong return on equity (59.0%) shows capital is put to work well.
Bear Case

The case against JBL:

  • Thin net margins (2.5%) leave little room for error.
  • Elevated leverage (debt/equity 2.1x) adds financial risk.
  • A rich 48.5x earnings multiple prices in a lot of growth.
Key Risks
Research

Valuation risk — at 48.5x earnings, disappointing results could compress the multiple.

Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 2.1x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.

Margin risk — thin profitability (2.5%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.

Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.

Investment Thesis
Research

On balance, the picture is mixed: Jabil is a large-cap information technology business still growing nicely, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 48.5x earnings, which our model scores Neutral (50/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
