Can Vertically Integrated Manufacturing Stoke Growth for SANM?

Sanmina is pushing a strategic shift toward vertically integrated, end-to-end manufacturing and deployment of 42Q connected factories to tighten control over production. The move could improve operational efficiency and customer stickiness, but persistent supply-chain delays and aggressive competition cloud near-term revenue and margin visibility. Expect this to be a company-level catalyst that could move the stock modestly depending on execution and easing of supply constraints.
