The recent surge in Fabrinet’s share price can be attributed to strong demand for their products across all product categories even amidst strong supply chain constraints.

Also the company has increased its production capacity by building new premises which will provide the company ample capacity to meet rising demand with adequate supply.
This company that assembles optical, electro-mechanical and electronic devices for other companies is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.55 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +18.3%. Revenues are expected to be $581.11 million, up 14% from the year-ago quarter.
