TE Connectivity

TE Connectivity makes connectors, sensors and other parts that carry power, signals and data in cars, trucks, factories, data centers, power grids, aircraft and medical devices. In the fiscal year to September 25, 2026, net sales were $19,885 million. Transportation Solutions gave $10,069 million, of which $7,523 million came from automotive. Industrial Solutions gave $9,903 million from digital data networks for data centers, automation and connected living, energy, aerospace, defense and marine, and medical.

Asia-Pacific gave 39% of sales, EMEA 32% and the Americas 29%. The fiscal year ends on the last Friday of September. TE had about 104,000 employees at the end of fiscal 2026. It is incorporated in Ireland since September 30, 2024, when it moved from Switzerland.

Its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The head office is in Galway, Ireland. Terrence Curtin is Chief Executive Officer.

TE Connectivity trades close to its intrinsic value because investors pay for its growth in AI data centers and energy networks, but they weigh it against slow growth in cars, which give three quarters of the sales of Transportation Solutions. In fiscal 2026, Industrial Solutions sales rose 26% and orders rose 27% to $22.2 billion, while automotive sales grew 3.0% organically. For the value to rise, three things must be true. Orders must turn into sales, so that organic sales growth in fiscal 2027 is similar to the 12% of fiscal 2026, as TE expects.

The adjusted operating margin must stay at about 22% while TE adds capacity and buys Astrodyne for about $1.4 billion. Car production must stay stable, mainly in China and Europe. The Q1 fiscal 2027 report, expected in late January 2027, is the next test: TE expects sales of about $5.35 billion and adjusted EPS of about $3.30. A slowdown in AI data center spending can lower growth fast, because digital data networks gave much of the growth.

Every filing on SEC EDGAR (CIK 1385157)

• Much of the growth comes from connectors for AI data centers. Sales of digital data networks rose 34% in Q4 fiscal 2026, and a slowdown in data center spending can lower growth fast.
• Automotive gives about three quarters of the sales of Transportation Solutions. Lower car production, a slower change to electric cars or price pressure from car makers can reduce sales and margins.
• TE sells products in about 130 countries. Tariffs, export controls and trade disputes can raise costs and disrupt supply chains.
• TE grows partly through acquisitions, such as Richards Manufacturing for about $2.3 billion in fiscal 2025 and Astrodyne for about $1.4 billion. A weak integration can lower margins.
• Most sales are outside the United States. A stronger U.S. dollar lowers reported sales and earnings.

TE funds itself with cash flow, senior notes and commercial paper. At September 25, 2026, short-term debt was $502 million and long-term debt $5,137 million, so total debt was $5,639 million. Read more
