Celestica (NYSE:CLS) stock is rocketing higher on Thursday after the supply-chain solutions company released its earnings report for the second quarter of 2023.

The good news for CLS stock starts with the company’s adjusted EPS of 55 cents for the quarter. That’s better than the 47 cents per share Wall Street was expecting. It also comes in above the 44 cents reported in Q2 2022.

Adding to this boon for CLS stock is its revenue of $1.94 billion. Yet again, that comes in above analysts’ estimate of $1.81 billion. It also represents a 13% increase year-over-year (YOY) from $1.72 billion.
