Board retirement and upcoming earnings put TE Connectivity in focus

TE Connectivity (TEL) has two events on the calendar that matter for shareholders. Longtime director William A. Jeffrey plans to retire, and fourth quarter and full year 2026 results are scheduled for release on October 28.

Recent trading has been mixed for TE Connectivity, with the share price down 0.7% on the day and 1.6% over the past week. However, it has shown a 4.6% 1 month share price return and a 6.9% 3 month share price return, as investors weigh the coming earnings release and board change against a softer year to date share price return and an 80.4% 3 year total shareholder return that points to stronger longer term momentum.

TE Connectivity’s share price has cooled this year after a strong multi year run, even as earnings growth and a valuation discount appear favorable. Is that enough potential upside to justify the risk at today’s level?

Most Popular Narrative: 30% Undervalued

TE Connectivity’s most followed narrative pegs fair value at $215, almost exactly in line with the latest $214.31 close. This frames today’s debate more around durability of cash flows than a clear pricing gap.

While TE Connectivity generated about US$2.2b of free cash flow with conversion close to 100% of net income and returned roughly US$2b to shareholders in 2026 year to date, insider selling and the April 2026 share price decline of 18% over six days underline the risk that continued high levels of buybacks and acquisition spend at current valuations compress future free cash flow yield and constrain earnings growth per share.

Result: Fair Value of $215 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, TE Connectivity could see this cautious script challenged if AI oriented data center architectures continue to favor higher power content and the Astrodyne TDI deal scales smoothly.
