Fabrinet Reports Impressive Growth in Q3 2025 Results

For the three months ending March 28, 2025, Fabrinet reported revenues of $871.8 million, an increase of $140.3 million or 19.2% from $731.5 million in the same period last year.

Optical communications products accounted for $657.2 million, or 75.4% of total revenues, marking an increase of $65.8 million, or 11.1%. This rise is primarily attributed to increased sales of data communication products for artificial intelligence applications and telecommunications products. Conversely, non-optical communications products generated $214.6 million, reflecting a significant increase of $74.5 million, or 53.2%, largely due to growth in automotive revenue as inventory absorption issues improved.

For the nine months ending March 28, 2025, revenues rose by $379.9 million, or 17.8%, totaling $2,509.6 million compared to $2,129.7 million in the same period the previous year.
