TE Connectivity stock sits near highs before earnings — what TEL investors watch next

New York, Jan 19, 2026, 19:36 EST — The market has closed.

  • U.S. stock markets were closed Monday. TE Connectivity closed Friday at $241.01, slipping 0.4%.
  • TE Connectivity will release its fiscal first-quarter results before the market opens on Jan. 21.
  • Attention centers on orders, margins, and if management holds firm to its October forecast.

The timing is crucial as TE has highlighted strong demand from data centers and electric vehicles, with its stock hovering near recent highs. This earnings report might shape the early mood for the connectors-and-sensors sector.

TE wrapped up Friday at $241.01, slipping 0.38% for the day. The stock remains roughly 4% shy of its 52-week peak at $250.67, according to company figures. (TE Connectivity Investors)

The company plans to release its fiscal first-quarter results ahead of the market open on Jan. 21, followed by a conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET. (TE Connectivity Investors)

TE forecasted first-quarter sales around $4.5 billion and an adjusted EPS near $2.53. CEO Terrence Curtin said, “We expect sales and EPS in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 to each be up double digits year over year.” (TE Connectivity Investors)

A Zacks Equity Research note on Monday set the consensus at $2.54 in adjusted EPS, with sales around $4.51 billion. It flagged orders as the main indicator for both the Transportation and Industrial segments, which last quarter accounted for roughly equal shares of sales. The note also mentioned that Amphenol, a key competitor in connectors, is scheduled to report earnings on Jan. 28. (Nasdaq)

Traders are watching closely for any change in the narrative behind those figures — is data-center demand still driving growth? And are transportation markets staying resilient? Remarks on pricing and customer inventories could swing the stock just as much as the reported EPS.

Risks remain. Should TE’s outlook falter or margins shrink due to softer transportation volumes, the shares might hit headwinds, particularly since the stock is trading close to its peak. Currency fluctuations could also skew reported growth for this global supplier.

Separately, a filing revealed that TE submitted its definitive proxy statement on Jan. 15, scheduling its annual general meeting for March 11. (SEC)

TE, based in Ireland and traded on the New York Stock Exchange, supplies connectors and sensors to transportation and industrial sectors, serving data centers, energy networks, and medical technology markets. (Reuters)

Wednesday’s earnings and the 8:30 a.m. call stand as the next major trigger. Any news on orders or the quarter’s direction should spark the week’s initial big move.
