Jabil has delivered a powerful run over the past several years, and the recent pullback now puts a sharper spotlight on whether the current share price still lines up with what its earnings can support. With the stock closing at US$249.82 most recently, the question for investors is how much of the past success is already embedded in that figure.
-
The stock is up 292.2% over the past 5 years, which places a lot of weight on the idea that Jabil’s earnings story can keep backing up that kind of long term move.
-
Sales in the twelve months to August 2026 reached US$36b, helped by strong demand in Intelligent Infrastructure, which may support expectations for future profitability and the earnings multiple investors are willing to pay.

The issue now is whether Jabil’s current valuation is justified by its earnings power after such a long stretch of strong share price performance.
If you are weighing whether Jabil still earns its current P/E, it can help to line it up against a wider field of AI infrastructure plays using the 53 AI infrastructure stocks.
Does Jabil Look Undervalued on Earnings?
The P/E lens suits Jabil because earnings are a key focus for investors trying to tie the share price back to the underlying business. On this yardstick, Jabil trades on a P/E of 24.7x, compared with an electronic industry average of about 26.4x and a peer group around 23.6x, so the stock lands slightly below the sector level but a touch above immediate rivals.
Because the recent jump in Intelligent Infrastructure sales has sharpened attention on Jabil’s role in AI hardware, the current P/E sits below what the Fair Ratio model suggests would be typical for this mix of growth potential, margins and risk. That gap hints at a market that is pricing the company with some caution even after strong interest in AI infrastructure. Investors weighing this multiple need to decide whether the AI related demand and current profitability are enough to close that gap over time. Explore the numbers behind Jabil’s P/E valuation.
