Fabrinet Just Lost Billions in Market Value Due to Nvidia. Here’s Why the Reaction Is Overdone.

Fabrinet (FN) reported strong Q4 results with $1.32B revenue (up 45% YoY) and $4.10 EPS, beating estimates. Despite this, shares dropped 20% due to a 1% dip in datacom revenue linked to lower Nvidia (NVDA) sales. Management attributed the dip to timing issues, not demand weakness, and guided for continued growth. Analysts remain bullish, with a consensus price target of $718.22, suggesting 64% upside. FN has a forward P/E of 27x and is debt-free with $876M in cash.
