Quick Take

"TMR Partners is capitalizing on the AI infrastructure boom through Celestica, a key hyperscaler supplier trading at attractive 13x P/E despite 68% revenue exposure to high-growth data center markets."

Executive Summary

TMR Partners delivered strong absolute returns year-to-date despite focusing on smaller, under-the-radar investments that haven't participated in the megacap tech-driven bull market. Their returns are uncorrelated to the S&P 500 and depend on company-specific outcomes. The fund's primary investment thesis centers on Celestica (CLS), positioned as a compelling AI play trading at 13x forward P/E. Celestica has transformed into a trusted provider to the top 5 global hyperscalers, with 68% of revenues from their Connectivity & Cloud Solutions segment. The company benefits from the insatiable AI capex spending, with tech giants increasing combined capital expenditures by 60% year-over-year to $229B annually. This represents one of the biggest data center refreshes in two decades, with accelerated computing having only 2.7% market penetration. The manager expects Celestica's margins to expand sustainably due to higher-value AI-related products and projects 24% revenue growth in 2025, targeting 70% upside with a 43% IRR based on 16x P/E valuation.
