Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Jabil Inc. is a global manufacturing solutions provider that designs, engineers, and manufactures electronic and mechanical products for a wide range of industries. The company operates primarily within the electronics manufacturing services and diversified manufacturing services sectors, supporting customers across healthcare, automotive and transportation, cloud and data center infrastructure, industrial, consumer, and mobility markets. Jabil’s core value proposition centers on end-to-end product lifecycle capabilities, spanning design, supply chain management, manufacturing, and aftermarket services.
Founded in 1966, Jabil has evolved from a small circuit board assembler into one of the world’s largest contract manufacturers. The company’s scale, global supply chain, and long-standing relationships with blue-chip customers provide strategic advantages in cost efficiency, speed to market, and risk management. Over time, Jabil has expanded beyond traditional electronics assembly into regulated and higher-margin sectors such as healthcare, packaging, and advanced mobility solutions.
Business Operations
Jabil generates revenue primarily through two reportable operating segments: Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) and Diversified Manufacturing Services (DMS). The EMS segment focuses on high-volume electronics manufacturing for markets such as cloud infrastructure, networking, and mobility, while DMS addresses more complex and regulated products, including healthcare devices, automotive systems, industrial equipment, and packaging solutions.
The company operates a global manufacturing network supported by proprietary supply chain, automation, and digital manufacturing technologies. Jabil controls extensive physical assets, including manufacturing plants, tooling capabilities, and logistics infrastructure. Its operations are supported by subsidiaries such as Jabil Circuit (China) Ltd. and Jabil Healthcare, and the company maintains long-term partnerships with leading technology, healthcare, and industrial firms rather than relying heavily on joint ventures.
Strategic Position & Investments
Jabil’s strategic direction emphasizes portfolio diversification, margin expansion, and investment in sectors with long-term secular growth. Key growth initiatives include expanding healthcare manufacturing, electric vehicle and automotive electronics content, and sustainable packaging solutions. The company has also focused on operational excellence and capital discipline, including share repurchases and targeted capital expenditures.
Historically, Jabil has pursued acquisitions to strengthen technical capabilities and market access, including the acquisition of Nypro to expand its healthcare manufacturing footprint and Mikros Technologies to enhance aerospace and defense engineering capabilities. The company continues to invest in automation, digital manufacturing, and supply chain analytics to support emerging technologies and customer demand for resilient global production networks.
Geographic Footprint
Jabil is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, and operates an extensive global manufacturing and supply chain network. The company maintains significant operations across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, with additional facilities in Latin America. This diversified geographic presence allows Jabil to support regional production strategies and mitigate geopolitical and supply chain risks.
Its global footprint enables close proximity to customers and end markets, particularly in major electronics manufacturing hubs in China, Southeast Asia, Mexico, and Eastern Europe. Jabil’s international operations are integral to its ability to serve multinational customers and manage complex, cross-border supply chains.
Leadership & Governance
Jabil was co-founded by William E. Morean and James Golden, and the company continues to be influenced by a leadership philosophy centered on operational discipline, customer partnership, and long-term value creation. Governance emphasizes experienced executive leadership with deep manufacturing and supply chain expertise.
Key members of the leadership team include:
- Mike Dastoor – Chief Executive Officer
- Mark Mondello – Executive Chairman of the Board
