Description: PLXS Plexus January 12, 2026
Plexus Corp. (NASDAQ: PLXS) is a global provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), delivering design, development, supply-chain management, new-product introduction, and sustaining production across the United States, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The company’s end-market focus includes aerospace & defense, healthcare & life sciences, and industrial/commercial sectors, positioning it to benefit from rising defense budgets (U.S. defense spending grew ~3.5% YoY in FY2023) and the accelerating adoption of medical-device electronics.
Key operating metrics from the most recent fiscal year show revenue of approximately $2.2 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin near 7.5%, and a backlog of roughly $1.1 billion-indicating a solid order pipeline but also exposing the firm to the ongoing semiconductor supply constraints that have pressured EMS margins industry-wide.
Strategically, Plexus is pursuing nearshoring initiatives to mitigate supply-chain risk and capture higher-margin work in the U.S., a trend reinforced by recent policy incentives for domestic electronics manufacturing.
