AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I approach TE Connectivity as a Graham-style value investor. At the close on 2026-10-13, the stock was $215.92, giving a $62.5B market cap, while FairStock calculated a P/E of 21.15 and a P/B of 4.73. The Graham Number is $102.45, so the margin of safety is negative 110.76%. That tells me the price already reflects a lot of good news. The business is not a fly-by-night: in fiscal Q3 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-26, TE reported revenue of $5.2B, net income of $748.0M, and diluted EPS of $2.55. In fiscal Q3 2025, the quarter ended 2025-06-27, revenue was $4.5B, net income was $638.0M, and diluted EPS was $2.14. That is solid recent growth. Still, the annual record is lumpy. In FY2025, the fiscal year ended 2025-09-26, revenue was $17.3B and net income was $1.8B, or $6.16 per diluted share. In FY2024, the fiscal year ended 2024-09-27, net income was $3.2B and diluted EPS was $10.33. FairStock labels TE a slow grower whose profit shrank 5.0% a year over four years, with revenue growth of 3.7%. Financial health is decent: debt/equity 0.43, Altman Z-score 4.26, Piotroski 6/9, trailing twelve-month free cash flow $3.3B, and FCF yield 5.3%. ROE is 23.29%, but ROCE is 9.69%, so returns are mixed. TE has scale in connectors and sensors, yet at 21 times earnings and a negative Graham margin, I would want a wider discount.

In plain English: TE Connectivity makes connectors, sensors, and other parts that help cars, machines, and electronic systems work. It earned $748.0 million in the quarter ended June 26, 2026, up from $638.0 million a year earlier, so recent business looks reasonably strong. However, the stock at $215.92 on October 13, 2026 looks expensive compared with its recent profits and net assets, so it does not look cheap.
