Jabil (JBL) shares soared Thursday after the circuit board manufacturer posted better-than-expected results on artificial intelligence (AI) demand, authorized a stock buyback program, and launched a restructuring that includes job cuts.
The company, which supplies Apple (AAPL), reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.30, ahead of consensus forecasts of analysts polled by Visible Alpha. Revenue fell 17.7% year-over-year to $6.96 billion, reflecting the loss from the divestiture of its Mobility division last December, but that still beat estimates.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mike Dastoor noted that during its fiscal year, along with the Mobility sale, Jabil saw growth in the AI datacenter sector while dealing with softness in multiple end-markets. He added that while short-term demand remains challenged in certain end-markets, "we are confident that in the mid-to-long term, we are well-positioned to capitalize on secular trends."
Jabil's board also approved a $1 billion share repurchase plan.
Along with the earnings news, the company announced a restructuring plan "to align our support infrastructure to further optimize organizational effectiveness." It explained that would entail layoffs across the selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and manufacturing cost base, and capacity realignment. Jabil explained that it expects to take a $150 million to $200 million charge in fiscal 2025 to implement the changes.
Despite Thursday afternoon's nearly 12% gains to $126.85, shares of Jabil remain slightly lower year-to-date.

We all want our child to have friends. We want them to be happy, and to build the social skills and connections that will help them now and in the future.
Sometimes, and for some children, making friends isn't easy. This is particularly true after the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of isolation and remote school, many children either didn't learn the skills they need to make friends — or those skills got rusty.
Here are some ways parents can help.
Start at home: Learning relationship skills
Making and keeping friends involves skills that are best learned at home with your family. Some of them include:
All of these apply also to how you and your partner talk about — or with — other people in front of your children, too!
Be a good role model outside the home, too
When you are outside your home, be friendly! Strike up conversations, ask questions of people around you. Help your child learn confidence and strategies for talking to people they don't know.
Make interactions easier
Conversations and interactions can be easier if they are organized around a common interest or activity. Here are some ways parents can help:
Keep an eye on your child — but don't hover
Ultimately, your child needs to learn to do this — and you don't want to embarrass them, either. The two exceptions might be:
Keep an open line of communication, and be supportive
Talk with your child regularly about their day, about their interactions, and how things made them feel. Listen more than you talk. Be positive and supportive. Remember that part of being supportive is understanding your child's personality and seeing the world from their eyes. You can't make your child someone they are not.
If your child keeps struggling with making friends, talk to your doctor
All parents need help sometimes — and sometimes there is more to the problem than meets the eye. This is particularly true if your child has ADHD or another diagnosis that could make interactions more challenging.

A lady has responded to a man who wants his wife to be like his mother, who got off work and cooked dinner every night for the family.
She said some men are very m@d. If you get home first you should be starting dinner, if she walk in the door and you are there complaining you’re hungry and her children haven’t eaten and you’ve been home for hours we will have serious issues.
