Jabil Inc. (US46612W1036) stock traded at $322.10, down 4.9%, after a one-day slide that followed the latest quarterly report and kept the shares below the recent peak of $428.93. The stock's market cap stood at $33.75 billion, while the 52-week range in trading data stretched from $189.60 to $428.93.
Quarterly numbers still matter
Q3 fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS was $3.16 on revenue of $8.75 billion, with revenue up 11.8% year over year and above the $8.61 billion estimate. That same quarter also showed net income of $275 million, versus $223 million in the prior period, while EBITDA was listed at $2.38 billion with a 7.25% margin.
Management also lifted fiscal 2026 guidance to $12.70 in adjusted EPS and $35 billion in revenue, and one data snapshot says AI-related revenue was raised to $13.6 billion. The comparison is clear: the current EPS guide implies growth from the reported $3.16 quarterly run rate, while the revenue target sits well above the latest quarter's $8.75 billion.
Market view stays firm
Analysts still show a Buy consensus and an average price target of $453.67, which sits well above the current share price. The same market data also puts the 50-day moving average at $342.93 and the 200-day moving average at $314.87, leaving the stock between both trend lines.
Jabil's latest filing context on August 20, 2026, also included a cash dividend of $0.08 per share and an annualized rate of $0.32 per share. That adds a small income layer to a stock whose valuation is still being judged against a sharp move higher over the past year.
AI hardware is the product angle
Jabil's Intelligent Infrastructure business remains the key product thread for investors, because it ties the company to AI data-center hardware, supply chain work, and manufacturing services. The current estimates and guidance still point to that mix as the main growth driver, not a single consumer product line.
Price and setup
Jabil stock was last quoted at $322.10 as of August 20, 2026. The stock had also traded at $322.77 on August 19, 2026, and the one-day drop of 4.7% to 4.9% leaves it well below the $428.93 high from June 16, 2026.
