During Celestica's Q1 2026 earnings call on April 28, 2026, Mionis discussed the company's increased R&D investment, noting it has about 1,350 design engineers and plans to add more. He said these engineers are working on programs for next year and the year after, and that the company is comfortable making these investments due to its program wins and pipeline, specifically in HPS. Responding to an analyst question, Mionis confirmed that a large digital native customer program remains on track, with sample systems shipping this year and production expected to begin late in the first quarter of next year. He said the company has been in close meetings with key suppliers to secure material across the supply chain. In an October 2025 interview with Jim Cramer, Mionis discussed Celestica's role in the data center boom, describing the company's work in high-speed networking, AI/ML compute, and storage systems at both component and systems levels for hyperscalers, digital natives, and enterprise customers. He attributed the company's ability to execute at scale to its combination of design and manufacturing capabilities. Mionis also said that AI has become a "must have" utility, and described Celestica's role as "laying the tracks ahead of a freight train" by building the infrastructure that enables AI adoption. He also discussed optical programs, noting that co-packaged optics would likely become prevalent in the 3.2TB mode.
