(CLS:CA) (CLS)<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>BMO Capital Markets lowered its target price on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocktargetadvisor.com\/stock\/Canada\/TSX\/CLS\/analyst-rating\">Celestica Inc.<\/a> to C$118 from C$140, reflecting growing concerns over external pressures affecting the broader technology and manufacturing sector. The investment bank pointed to increased uncertainty around global tariffs\u2014particularly those related to U.S. and China trade tensions\u2014as a key risk factor that could impact Celestica\u2019s cost structure and profit margins. BMO also noted that recent multiple compression across the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry has weighed on valuation, with investors becoming more cautious amid a shifting macroeconomic environment. While the company remains fundamentally strong, BMO believes these headwinds could limit near-term upside potential in the stock.<\/p>\n<h2>Stock Forecast &amp; Analysis<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"540\">Based on projections from six analysts, <strong data-start=\"40\" data-end=\"58\">Celestica Inc.<\/strong> has a <strong data-start=\"65\" data-end=\"112\">12-month average target price of CAD 141.57<\/strong>, suggesting notable upside from its last closing price of <strong data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"185\">CAD 121.25<\/strong>.
