ผลการดำเนินงานทางธุรกิจและการดำเนินงาน
ศูนย์ข้อมูล กลายเป็นกลุ่มรายได้ที่ใหญ่ที่สุด
ฟาบริเนทได้เปิดตัวการจัดประเภทรายได้รูปแบบใหม่ตามสถานที่ที่ผลิตภัณฑ์ของลูกค้าถูกนำไปใช้งานจริงในขั้นสุดท้าย โดยแบ่งออกเป็นสามกลุ่ม ได้แก่ ศูนย์ข้อมูล โครงสร้างพื้นฐานการสื่อสาร และยานยนต์ อุตสาหกรรม และอื่น ๆ
รายได้จากศูนย์ข้อมูลแตะระดับ 669 ล้านดอลลาร์ คิดเป็น 51% ของรายได้รวม โดย DCI เป็นปัจจัยหลักที่ช่วยหนุนการเติบโต ซึ่งมีรายได้ต่อปีในอัตราวิ่งเฉลี่ย (annualized run rate) สูงกว่า 1 พันล้านดอลลาร์. นอกจากนี้ กลุ่มการประมวลผลประสิทธิภาพสูง (High-performance computing) ยังเติบโตเมื่อเทียบกับไตรมาสก่อนหน้า เนื่องจากโครงการร่วมกับผู้ให้บริการ Hyperscaler รายใหญ่ยังคงเร่งตัวอย่างต่อเนื่อง
ผู้บริหารคาดว่าจะได้รับแรงหนุนเพิ่มเติมจากโครงการตัวรับส่งสัญญาณ (transceiver) ใหม่ โดยโครงการที่ส่งตรงให้แก่ Hyperscaler คาดว่าจะเริ่มเร่งกำลังการผลิตอย่างเร็วที่สุดในไตรมาสที่ 1 ของปีงบประมาณ 2027 ตามมาด้วยโครงการขายทั่วไป (merchant program) หนึ่งโครงการในไตรมาสสิ้นสุดเดือนธันวาคม และโครงการอื่น ๆ ในช่วงต้นปีปฏิทิน 2027
โครงสร้างพื้นฐานการสื่อสารยังคงเติบโตอย่างทั่วถึง
รายได้จากโครงสร้างพื้นฐานการสื่อสารอยู่ที่ 413 ล้านดอลลาร์ เพิ่มขึ้น 40% เมื่อเทียบรายปี และ 1% เมื่อเทียบกับไตรมาสก่อนหน้า ซึ่งคิดเป็น 31% ของรายได้รวม
การเติบโตเกิดขึ้นอย่างทั่วถึงทั้งในระบบโทรคมนาคม การสื่อสารผ่านดาวเทียม และชิ้นส่วนโทรคมนาคม นอกจากนี้ ผู้บริหารยังได้เน้นย้ำถึงโอกาสในระบบเครือข่ายแบบครบวงจร ผลิตภัณฑ์ดาวเทียมวงโคจรต่ำ (LEO) และสถาปัตยกรรมออปติคัลแบบ Multi-rail
รายได้จากยานยนต์ อุตสาหกรรม และอื่น ๆ ปรับตัวดีขึ้นเมื่อเทียบกับไตรมาสก่อนหน้า
รายได้จากผลิตภัณฑ์ยานยนต์ อุตสาหกรรม และอื่น ๆ อยู่ที่ 234 ล้านดอลลาร์ เพิ่มขึ้น 8% เมื่อเทียบรายปี และ 9% เมื่อเทียบกับไตรมาสก่อนหน้า โดยการปรับตัวดีขึ้นนี้ได้รับแรงหนุนหลักจากผลิตภัณฑ์โครงสร้างพื้นฐานการชาร์จรถยนต์ไฟฟ้า (EV)
ฐานลูกค้าและความหนาแน่นของลูกค้า
ลูกค้ารายใหญ่ 4 ราย คิดเป็นสัดส่วนอย่างน้อย 10% ของรายได้ในปีงบประมาณ 2026 ได้แก่ ซิสโก้ ในสัดส่วน 20%, เอ็นวิเดีย ในสัดส่วน 16%, โนเกีย ในสัดส่วน 11% และ แอมะซอน ในสัดส่วน 11%.
ผู้บริหารระบุว่า ความสัมพันธ์กับโนเกียได้รับประโยชน์จากความแข็งแกร่งอย่างต่อเนื่องในธุรกิจเดิมของอินฟิเนรา (Infinera) รวมถึงโอกาสเพิ่มเติมกับบริษัทหลังการควบรวม
การขยายกำลังการผลิต
อาคาร 10 ในพื้นที่โรงงานชลบุรีของฟาบริเนท ยังคงมีกำหนดสร้างแล้วเสร็จภายในช่วงต้นปี 2027 ซึ่งจะเพิ่มพื้นที่อีก 2 ล้านตารางฟุต. โดยบริษัทได้ผ่านการรับรองมาตรฐานพื้นที่ 250,000 ตารางฟุตบนชั้นหนึ่งแล้ว และคาดว่าจะผ่านการรับรองมาตรฐานพื้นที่ในจำนวนเท่ากันบนชั้นสามในช่วงไตรมาสแรกของปีงบประมาณ 2027
นอกจากนี้ ฟาบริเนทยังได้ปรับเปลี่ยนพื้นที่ 120,000 ตารางฟุต ที่ไพน์เฮิร์สท์ (Pinehurst) ให้เป็นพื้นที่การผลิต และเปิดใช้งานโรงงานขนาด 200,000 ตารางฟุต ในนวนคร ทั้งนี้ พื้นที่โรงงานซานตาคลาราแห่งใหม่ที่เพิ่งได้มานั้น รวมถึงพื้นที่การผลิตประมาณ 130,000 ตารางฟุต ซึ่งจะทำให้พื้นที่การดำเนินงานในซิลิคอนวัลเลย์เพิ่มขึ้นมากกว่าสองเท่า
ผู้บริหารประเมินว่า อาคาร 10 สามารถเพิ่มศักยภาพในการสร้างรายได้เฉลี่ยต่อปีได้อีก 3.0 พันล้าน - 3.5 พันล้านดอลลาร์ นอกจากนี้ บริษัทยังมีพื้นที่รองรับสำหรับการสร้างโรงงานเพิ่มเติมอีกสองแห่งในชลบุรี โดยคาดว่าแต่ละแห่งจะมีกำลังการผลิตประเมินอยู่ที่ 1.8 พันล้าน - 2.1 พันล้านดอลลาร์, ขึ้นอยู่กับ ส่วนผสมของผลิตภัณฑ์
แนวทางการดำเนินงานของฝ่ายบริหาร
สำหรับไตรมาส 1 ปีงบประมาณ 2027 Fabrinet คาดว่า:
| ตัวชี้วัดตามแนวทาง | แนวโน้มไตรมาส 1 ปีงบประมาณ 2027 |
|---|---|
| รายได้ | 1.375 พันล้าน - 1.425 พันล้านดอลลาร์ |
| การเติบโตที่คาดการณ์ ณ จุดกึ่งกลาง | ประมาณ 43% เมื่อเทียบรายปี |
| กำไรต่อหุ้น Non-GAAP | 4.10 - 4.25 ดอลลาร์ |
ฝ่ายบริหารคาดว่าจะมีการเติบโตในทั้งสามหมวดหมู่รายงาน ในกลุ่มศูนย์ข้อมูล ปัจจัยขับเคลื่อนที่คาดการณ์ไว้ ได้แก่ ทรานซีฟเวอร์, DCI และผลิตภัณฑ์การประมวลผลประสิทธิภาพสูง (HPC) ขณะที่โครงสร้างพื้นฐานการสื่อสารคาดว่าจะได้รับประโยชน์จากอุปสงค์ในกลุ่มระบบ ชิ้นส่วน และโครงการอื่น ๆ
บริษัทเตือนว่าปัจจัยด้านฤดูกาลของค่าใช้จ่ายตามปกติในไตรมาสแรกจะสร้างแรงกดดันชั่วคราวต่ออัตรากำไร แม้ว่าฝ่ายบริหารยังคงคาดว่าจะเกิดการประหยัดจากขนาดการดำเนินงานเมื่อรายได้เติบโตขึ้นก็ตาม
Fabrinet ให้ประมาณการอย่างเป็นทางการทีละไตรมาส โดย CEO Seamus Grady กล่าวว่า การเติบโตที่เร่งตัวขึ้นอีกปีนั้น "ไม่อยู่เกินขอบเขตของความเป็นไปได้" เมื่อพิจารณาจากภาพรวมอุปสงค์ในปัจจุบัน แต่บริษัทไม่ได้ออกประมาณการสำหรับปีงบประมาณ 2027 เต็มปี
ความเสี่ยงและประเด็นที่ต้องจับตา
- อุปสงค์สำหรับชิ้นส่วนบางรายการสูงกว่าอุปทานที่มีอยู่ ฝ่ายบริหารกล่าวว่าช่องว่างอุปทานที่คาดการณ์ไว้นี้ได้ถูกรวมไว้ในประมาณการไตรมาส 1 ปีงบประมาณแล้ว
- การคาดการณ์ของลูกค้ายาวไปจนถึงปีงบประมาณ 2027 และหลังจากนั้น แต่ไม่ใช่มัดจำคำสั่งซื้อที่มีผลผูกพัน
- กฎเกณฑ์ภาษีส่วนเพิ่ม (Top-up Tax) ของไทยยังอยู่ในช่วงเปลี่ยนผ่าน ดังนั้นค่าใช้จ่ายภาษีและสิทธิประโยชน์ที่เกี่ยวข้องในอนาคตอาจมีความผันผวน
- การลงทุนในกำลังการผลิตอย่างหนักมีส่วนทำให้เกิดกระแสเงินสดเสรีไหลออกต่อไตรมาสจำนวน 37 ล้านดอลลาร์.
- ข้อจำกัดที่อาจเกิดขึ้นกับทรานซีฟเวอร์ของจีนในทางทฤษฎีอาจเป็นประโยชน์ต่อซัพพลายเออร์ฝั่งตะวันตก แต่ฝ่ายบริหารย้ำว่าข้อเสนอดังกล่าวยังไม่ได้ข้อสรุป และอาจสร้างการหยุดชะงักของอุปทานในวงกว้างหากนำมาใช้โดยไม่มีทางเลือกอื่นที่เพียงพอ
ประเด็นสำคัญจากการถาม-ตอบกับนักวิเคราะห์
- การเร่งตัวของ HPC: ฝ่ายบริหารกล่าวว่าธุรกิจ HPC ทำผลงานได้ดีกว่าที่คาดไว้ โดยได้รับการสนับสนุนจากแพลตฟอร์มซิลิคอนรุ่นถัดไปและผลิตภัณฑ์เพิ่มเติมสำหรับผู้ให้บริการคลาวด์ขนาดใหญ่รายใหญ่
- บรรจุภัณฑ์ออปติคัลขั้นสูง: Fabrinet กำลังทำงานร่วมกับลูกค้าเกี่ยวกับ Co-Packaged Optics และ Near-Packaged Optics โดยฝ่ายบริหารมองว่า NPO เป็นโอกาสในระยะใกล้มากกว่า CPO และคาดว่าความร่วมมือกับ Raytec จะช่วยขยายขีดความสามารถด้านบรรจุภัณฑ์ในประเทศไทย
- ความหนาแน่นของรายได้: รายได้ต่อตารางฟุตที่สูงขึ้นสะท้อนถึงส่วนผสมของผลิตภัณฑ์ DCI ขนาดกะทัดรัดและซับซ้อนที่มีมูลค่าสูงขึ้น รวมถึงประสิทธิภาพการผลิตและการใช้พื้นที่ที่ดีขึ้น
- Optical Cross-Connects: รายได้จาก OCS ยังคงมีขนาดเล็ก แต่ Fabrinet ได้เริ่มจัดส่งผลิตภัณฑ์แล้ว และคาดว่าจะได้มีส่วนร่วมในการเติบโตที่ใหญ่ขึ้นในอนาคต
- การบูรณาการระบบ: บริษัทกำลังขยายธุรกิจจากชิ้นส่วนออปติคัลไปสู่ PCBA, ระบบย่อย และระบบเครือข่ายที่สมบูรณ์ โดยมีโครงการที่มีอยู่ในปัจจุบันกับ Nokia/Infinera และ Cisco รวมถึงโอกาสเพิ่มเติมอีกหนึ่งหรือสองโครงการที่อยู่ระหว่างการพัฒนา

I would now like to turn the call over to Fabrinet's Chairman and CEO, Seamus Grady. Seamus?
Seamus Grady
Thank you, Garo. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining our call today. We are delighted to report an outstanding fourth quarter that ended a remarkable year of accelerating year-over-year revenue growth, and we are enthusiastic that our momentum will extend in the first quarter and through fiscal year 2027. Quarter-to-quarter revenue of $1.316 billion increased 45% year-over-year and exceeded the top end of our guidance range. This revenue upside flowed through to the bottom line, with non-GAAP EPS of $4.10, which was also above our guidance range. We were pleased to see success from multiple sustainable growth drivers simultaneously supporting our business as we closed out fiscal 2026, and we are excited to anticipate an even stronger fiscal 2027. For all of fiscal 2026, revenue was an impressive $4.6 billion increasing 36% from fiscal 2025. And with strong execution, net income grew even faster than revenue, producing non-GAAP EPS of $14.09 for the year.
What's most noticeable to us is that this performance did not come from any one product category or customer, but from increasing demand trends across numerous customers in multiple markets, particularly evident at customers addressing the data center market as well as those serving the communications infrastructure market. Demand from these markets continues to increase, which makes us optimistic about the long-term durability of these trends.
Before we get into the details of our results, I'd like to highlight a change in the way we will be reporting our revenue breakdown going forward. As complex optical and electronic products become more and more prevalent inside, across and between data centers, it is evident that hyperscalers and other data center service providers are the ultimate customers of many of the products we manufacture, including some of those that have been characterized as telecom products in the past. At the same time, communications infrastructure continues to be an important part of our business, driven by general purpose, longer rich products with broader applications that are not specific to data centers.
Therefore, in order for our revenue breakdown to better reflect the end markets we ultimately serve. Going forward, we will focus on three revenue categories. Number one, data centers; number two, communications infrastructure; and number three, automotive, industrial and other revenue. In addition to being better aligned with the markets we ultimately serve, this also simplifies our reporting. We will continue to provide color on trends within all of these categories to extend our transparent revenue reporting practices and to help investors better understand the underlying drivers of our business.
I would now like to talk about capacity. As you know, we have been rapidly increasing our manufacturing footprint in order to stay ahead of rising demand, and we are excited to report a number of milestones. At Building 10 in our Chonburi Campus, we remain on track to complete Building 10 by early 2027. And which will add a total of 2 million square feet to our footprint. We have already qualified 250,000 square feet on the first floor of this facility, and we expect a similar amount on the third floor to be qualified this quarter. At our Pinehurst Campus, we have completed the conversion of 120,000 square feet of office space into manufacturing space. We have also completed the acquisition of our new site in Nevanacorn earlier in the fourth quarter, and we are happy to report that this building has just been commissioned, adding another 200,000 square feet of space.
In addition to these capacity increases in Thailand, we have also been focused on expanding our footprint at Fabrinet West. Our Santa Clara operations are primarily focused on helping customers, many of which are in the same neighborhood, bring new products to market. Since Fabrinet West is an on-ramp to Bangkok, success here is measured by how efficiently we transfer our production of products to Thailand for higher volume, low-cost manufacturing at scale. To support increasing demand for these new product introduction and related services, we recently completed the acquisition of a campus at great America Place in Santa Clara, less than a mile away from our existing facility on Patrick Henry Drive. This campus consists of two office buildings and a large manufacturing space of approximately 130,000 square feet, that will more than double our Silicon Valley footprint and help support our long-term growth.
Looking back at fiscal 2026. It was a remarkable year with accelerating revenue growth and record profits. More importantly, we have set the stage for another incredible year in fiscal 2027 as our strategy plays out. In addition to increasing demand across our existing business, we will see our growth bolstered by recent program wins as we continue to pursue further opportunities across our key markets.
In summary, this is an incredible time at Fabrinet as we benefit from our focus on complex high-growth markets, and we are proud to be winning more than our fair share of the opportunities. With accelerating year-over-year revenue growth, we are enthusiastic about the strong demand trends we are seeing and confident in our ability to extend our strong track record into the new year.
Now I'd like to turn the call over to Csaba for more details on our fourth quarter results and our outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Csaba?
Csaba Sverha
Thank you, Seamus, and good afternoon, everyone. We delivered an excellent fourth quarter with year-over-year revenue growth accelerating to 45% and continued strong earnings growth. Revenue reached a record $1.316 billion, above the high end of our guidance range. We also continued to generate operating leverage, resulting in record non-GAAP EPS of $4.10, which also exceeded our expectations. As Seamus described, we have updated our revenue mix reporting to better reflect the end markets we serve and that our customers' products are ultimately deployed. The investor deck posted on our website provides a 12-quarter history under the new reporting structure, along with the reconciliation of our Q4 results to the prior categories. This change is purely presentational and has no impact on total revenue in any period.
Now turning to the details, beginning with data center revenue. This category includes optical and interconnect products deployed within data centers including data center networking with an expanded view of DCI, high-performance computing and other AI infrastructure applications. Data center revenue was $669 million in the fourth quarter, representing growth of 68% from a year ago and 13% from Q3. This is now our largest category, representing 51% of total revenue. DCI products were the largest contributor to data center growth in the fourth quarter with an annualized revenue run rate exceeding $1 billion. High Performance Computing, or HPC, also made a substantial contribution to data center revenue, a solid growth in the quarter. Looking ahead, we expect the momentum we saw in the fourth quarter to continue into fiscal 2027, supported further by the new transceiver wins we discussed last quarter.
Moving to communications infrastructure. This category includes optical and networking products used in telecommunications and enterprise networks, excluding products specific to data center applications. Revenue was $413 million, an increase of 40% from a year ago and 1% from Q3, representing 31% of total revenue. Growth was broad-based across customers and end markets, including telecom systems, satellite communications and telecom components. We remain optimistic about the long-term growth outlook for this market and expect continuous trend in fiscal 2027.
Turning now to automotive, industrial and other category. Revenue was $234 million, up 8% from a year ago and 9% from Q3, representing 18% of total revenue. The improving sequential growth was primarily driven by EV charging infrastructure products with a smaller contribution from growth at certain later customers. Overall, we are extremely excited about the growth trajectory and the broad-based trend in demand across the customers and end markets we serve. As I discussed the details of our P&L, all expense and profitability metrics will be presented on a non-GAAP basis unless otherwise noted.
Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 12.2%, a 10 basis point improvement from Q3 and a 30 basis point decline from a year ago. We continue to demonstrate strong operating leverage with operating expenses representing just 1.2% of revenue. This produced an operating margin of 10.9%, our highest level in three years. I'll remind you that our growth model does not require significant incremental operating expense, and we, therefore, expect continued operating leverage as revenue growth. Interest income was $7 million, and we saw a foreign exchange revaluation gain of $1 million in Q4. Income tax was $3 million in the quarter. GAAP net income was $139 million or $3.83 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income was $149 million or $4.10 per diluted share.
In calculating our Q4 non-GAAP earnings, we excluded two items that we believe provide useful information to investors in assessing our results and comparability across periods. First, we recorded an approximately $56.7 million noncash gain from remeasuring our investment in rate. This was an accounting gain on an existing investment and did not generate cash for the business. We intend to apply the same treatment consistently to the future gains or losses from remeasurement of this investment.
Second, we recorded $57.4 million provision related to Thailand's top-up tax regime under the OSE, the Global Minimum Tax framework. The provision reflects the first year application of the new framework is based on the rules in effect at our fiscal year end. No cash was paid in fiscal 2026 in connection with this [indiscernible]. Thailand's regulatory environment for this tax remains in transition as implementing regulations guidance and related investment support measures continue to develop. As a result, future tax expense and any related benefits will vary over time, and we intend to apply a consistent approach while the transition continues.
For the full fiscal year, revenue was a record $4.6 billion, up 36% from fiscal 2025. Non-GAAP EPS was $14.09, an increase of 39% from a year ago. In 2026, we continue to diversify our customer base with four customers representing 10% or more of total revenue. These were Cisco at 20%; NVIDIA at 16% and Nokia at 11% and Amazon at 11% of total revenue.
Turning to our balance sheet. We ended the fourth quarter with cash and short-term investments of $876 million, down $70 million from the end of Q3. Operating cash flow for the quarter was $55 million. CapEx increased to $92 million with ongoing construction of Building on in Chonburi and the purchase of our new campus in Nava Nakorn for $11 million. Free cash flow was an outflow of $37 million in the quarter. For the full year, operating cash flow was $257 million, free cash flow was $4 million. This reflects our disciplined capital allocation strategy and our continued investment in capacity to support long-term growth. We believe reinvesting in the business remains one of the most attractive uses of our cash, supporting continued growth by generating strong ROIC.
In the fourth quarter, we did not repurchase a meaningful number of shares. However, our share repurchase program remains active with approximately $169 million available at the end of the quarter under our current authorization. Turning to our fiscal Q1 2027 guidance. As we look to the first quarter, we entered a new fiscal year with strong momentum across the business. In the data center market, we anticipate strong broad-based growth across transceivers, DCI and high-performance computing products. We expect growth from both established programs and new urbans, providing multiple growth engines for the company.
In communications infrastructure, we also expect healthy growth, supported by continued strong demand across a broad range of systems, components and other programs. We are also optimistic that we will see growth in automotive, industrial and other revenue. In total, we expect first quarter revenue to be between $1.375 billion and $1.425 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 43% at the mid-quarter. While our usual first quarter expense seasonality will create a temporary margin headwind, we expect to continue generating operating leverage as revenue growth. As such, we anticipate EPS to be between $4.10 and $4.25. While we only guide 1 quarter at the time, we think it's important to convey that we are more confident than ever in our longer-term outlook as customers provide us with visibility that goes into fiscal 2027 and beyond. While this longer-term customer forecasts are not order commitments, they reinforce our confidence in the durability of the very strong demand trends we are seeing.
In summary, our outstanding fourth quarter results kept a remarkable year for the company, with revenue increasing 36% and EPS growing 39%. We enter fiscal 2027 with strong momentum driven by growing demand across existing programs, meaningful contributions from new program ramps and additional capacity coming online to support continued growth.
Operator, we are now ready to open the call for questions.

[Operator Instructions] It comes from Christopher Rolland with Susquehanna.
ช่วงถาม-ตอบ
Unknown Analyst
This is Yasha on for Christopher Rolland. So I wanted to ask on datacom. It was down slightly sequentially in the quarter. So can you help us understand the dynamics there? How much of that was component supply versus any program transition or demand timing. And as we look into September and beyond, how should we think about the shape of datacom recovery? Do the constraints ease and any way to frame like sequential or year-over-year growth?
Csaba Sverha
This is Csaba. Let me take that question first. So we are transitioning to our new revenue categories as we mentioned in our prepared remarks. So if you were to look at or to reconcile our Q4, our datacom was somewhat flat. Obviously, this is a combination of everything that you have mentioned. When we are looking at this category in our data center business in the future quarter, we do anticipate this to be up sequentially in our Q1 guidance. So the demand environment remains pretty robust and accelerating. So we are very optimistic about this subcategory that we are now going to report inside our data center revenue category.
Unknown Analyst
And my second question is on HPC. I think previously, you had talked about a $150 million quarterly run rate for September. So is that still the expectation for the next quarter? Or maybe has the timing there kind of shifted. I think in your prepared remarks, you highlighted new transceiver wins with this customer. So any additional color there? Is this for 800 gig, 1.6T or any other color on like applications?
Seamus Grady
Yes, this is Seamus. Our HPC business continues to perform, I would say, ahead of expectations. We demonstrated good sequential growth in the quarter as a number of programs with the major hyperscaler continues to ramp. We're in the process of ramping the customer's next-generation silicon platform, and we're installing additional capacity to support both the technology transition as well as additional products and capacity that we're adding additional products that will be manufacturing. We remain on track with the customer, and we expect that business to continue to grow. You mentioned the, let's say, the transceiver business as well with that particular customer. So we're excited to be expanding our data center transceiver business with a number of new customers and programs. We expect these programs to see -- we expect these programs to start ramping as soon as this quarter with the hyperscaler direct program among the first Solange, the one you mentioned. We do expect one of the merchant programs to begin in the December quarter and the others to get off the ground in early calendar 2027. This is all pretty consistent with our prior expectations for a meaningful ramp over the course of the fiscal year, supporting our very strong growth trends.

I wanted to ask about some of the capacity additions in the business. obviously, we're getting ready to wrap up Building 10 in the next few months. I'm just curious on your thoughts around building an I think, Seamus, if you go back in time, I think you admitted at one point that maybe you started building 10 a little bit too late. I guess I'm just wondering how you think about the triggers now for Building 11 and then longer-term capacity additions?
Seamus Grady
No. I think we started Building 10 as it turns out at exactly the right time, either by excellent planning or good luck or combination of both. Yes, we continue to expand our capacity ahead of the demand and investing in capacity for us is a very important use of the cash. And we're really rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint to support the strong customer growth that we're seeing and to make sure we have sufficient capacity for the new programs. Just to kind of frame it a little bit, we ended fiscal 2025. If you take Q4 revenue of $1.32 billion, look by that by 4, you get about 5.3%. So we're we're at a run rate of $5.3 billion, so a little bit ahead of what we had originally thought was the capacity. So $5.3 billion run rate as we exit Q4. And we have, if you like, land capacity and plans in place to bring that capacity up to between $12.5 billion and $14 billion over the coming years. And let me just explain how we get from $5.3 million to potentially $14 billion. Again, we finished FY '26 at a run rate of 5.3%. With the space we converted in Pinehurst recently that would take us up to about between 5.5% and 5.8%. We converted some office space into manufacturing. So that takes up to 5.5% to 5.8%. Building 10 will add $3 billion to $3.5 billion of capacity. So that would take us to between 8.5% and 9.3%. I know that's a pretty broad range, but it really does depend on the mix and the products that we're making for our customers. So like I said, Building 10 will add about $3 billion to $3.5 billion, taking us up to between 8.5% and 9.3%. We've already started to produce in some of just started to produce in some of Building 10. But the vast bulk of that capacity had in front of us. The Nevanacorn factory that we recently purchased, that will start contributing from Q1 onwards and at full capacity. That building has capacity for about another $200 million to $250 million. Santa Clara, the new campus, again, it's very much mix dependent. But if you just take the kind of the average revenue per square foot and applied, that Santa Clara campus would add about $200 million to $250 million of additional capacity. And then we have room to build two more factories in Chonburi, each of about 1.2 million square feet with revenue capacity of about $1.8 billion to $2.1 billion. So if you add up all of that and you take the run rate exiting Q4 and then you add the low and the high of each of those additions, you get between $12.5 billion and $14 billion. And we continue to look for more land to expand. So we've been very fortunate we've been able to keep expanding ahead of the demand, and we plan to continue to do that. We're going to be expanding -- continuing to expand aggressively over the next few years.
George Notter
Got it. Super. And then I think last quarter, when you discussed this, I think you kind of circulated or centered on an $11.5 billion revenue run rate, if I have that correct, these numbers are obviously higher. Is it just -- the difference is, obviously, a piece of this, I think, is Nava, but Santa Clara would be another piece. Are there other components in this also or no?
Seamus Grady
Yes, I think it's a combination of we're adding more space, more square footage, of course, between Nava and the other capacity issues we talked on sent car, of course, but also our revenue per square foot is increasing. We are actually increasing our revenue per square foot. We're doing more with less. We find -- we seem to always find ways to make sure we never never turned away revenue. We don't disappoint the customers. So we always find ways to get the product out. So our revenue per square foot has been increasing as well as our our square footage has been increasing. So both have been increasing.

It comes from Joseph Cardoso with JPMorgan.
Joseph Cardoso
Maybe just one on the discussion in recent weeks around CTO and MTO. And maybe more specifically about the NPL opportunity it seems like it's materializing a bit sooner than what maybe the industry or at least maybe investors have been thinking about. And I'm just curious, just given the combination of the recent relationship that you have with [indiscernible], how are you thinking about Fabrinet's ability to address these type of opportunities? I mean, I guess, CPO and MTO, but I'm just curious if NPOs looking like it's something that maybe is happening earlier for you guys and maybe to a greater magnitude than what was a quarter or two ago? And then I have a quick follow-up.
Seamus Grady
Sure. Thanks, Joe. Yes. So NPL technology sits somewhere between pluggable modules and CPO. As you know, we've built tens of millions of pluggable modules over the years. So we've clearly demonstrated that expertise. We're working on CPO today with a handful of customers, and we're already building devices, albeit not yet at full scale volumes. And since NPO, as you said, NPO combines elements of both, we feel we're very well positioned to be the leader in manufacturing and packaging and new package optics devices. As NPO scales to 6.4, 12.8 terabit and beyond, the manufacturing complexity and yield becomes increasingly important, it becomes critical. And for decades, our core strength has been transforming advanced photonics components into reliable high-volume systems. So that's really what we do. That's our sweet spot. It's probably too early to talk about, let's say, revenues and margins from those opportunities and customers as they depend on program specifics. But rest assured, we are very much involved in all of the technologies you mentioned, and NPO, I think, probably represents a more near-term opportunity and CPO for what we've seen with our customers. Our partnership with Raytec we think will be very important for us and will really be instrumental in allowing us to unlock the potential of the demand we're seeing rate will be adding capacity in Thailand in our campus. So we really feel it's important for us to have all of the packaging capabilities that are required to produce these products in the future. under our roof, either in our own production lines or in partnership with Ray tech. So we're pretty excited about those opportunities, too.
Joseph Cardoso
Very interesting. And then maybe just as my follow-up. You listed Nokia as a 10% customer, which maybe for me was a bit of a surprise. I thought maybe Ciena would be on that list. But maybe just speaking to Nokia. How much of this is a function of the Infinera business that you've had as a large customer at least historical versus maybe additional business that you have subsequently won as a function of the combination of those two companies together. Just curious if you're actually seeing the business you now winning bigger or more opportunities from the combined entity or if it's not just a function of what you have done historically with Infinera and kind of a rising tide situation?
Seamus Grady
It's a little bit of both -- I mean I don't want into too much detail on any 1 specific customer, but I think I can safely say our first objective, and it's something we don't necessarily control was to make sure that we do everything possible that when Nokia acquired Infinera at the Infinera business stays robust and sometimes in these situations when the big company acquires a smaller company, there can be product rationalizations and things like that and through no fault of your own, you can end up losing business. That didn't happen in this case. The Infinera products, I think, are instrumental and seem to have very strong demand. So the Infinera business has been rising. And then, of course, the Nokia business is going very strong as well and our our relationship with Nokia is very good. We historically have done a little bit of business with Nokia, but they were not a big customer for us historically. So really that that reputation that we had and that we continue to have with the intreneura folks has really set us in good state and we feel we're well positioned and starting, as you say, to make some breakthroughs and winning business with Nokia. So we're pretty excited about that relationship. Yes, they rose to be more than a 10% customer. And we're really just -- we feel getting started with Nokia. We feel there's a huge amount of potential there to continue to grow that relationship.
Operator
Our next question comes from Tim Long with Barclays.
Timothy Long
Yes, two, if I could, going to hit some of this again. Seamus, I know you don't want to talk too much about customers, but obviously NVIDIA's a reported one with 10% and a pretty good decline in the year. Understanding there was a lot of component issues that have plagued that business. Just curious of kind of current update on competitive landscape there particularly as the newer programs that you guys tend to lead are a little bit more mature now. So just curious how -- appreciate it's going to -- that business should overall go up a little up next quarter, but curious about the -- how you view the competitive landscape, particularly as some of the nodes have matured. And then I have a follow-up after that.
Seamus Grady
Yes. I mean, we're obviously not going to get into too much specifics on any one customer, but I will say that we're very pleased with our data center performance in Q4. And we're optimistic that we'll see sequential growth in the first quarter, both with long-standing customers, like the 1 you mentioned, and newer customers contributing to that growth. With respect to any specific parts or components don't want to speak on behalf of our customers, our suppliers in these kind of three-way relationships, especially for some of these high-profile components. But our supply chain team has been doing an excellent job managing these relationships, and we have continued to get our share of the components we need. Demand yes, demand for certain components is higher than the available supply, and we're working very hard to mitigate that to make sure we get what we need. And as always, we have taken any potential gaps in supply into account in our guidance. and expectations for growth in all three major revenue categories, including the data center business.
Timothy Long
Okay. Great. And then maybe back to the HPC, you mentioned some kind of newer opportunities there as well. I was wondering if you could just give us a little bit more color on types of products or any color you can give us or scale of what that could do to the business? It seems like it got off to a pretty good start and the ramp has been pretty good through four quarters. Just curious what other programs could be added to that to keep that business growing?
Seamus Grady
Yes. I mean the products we're talking about are really follow-on products from previous generation products. And we've also won some additional products. That relationship is going very well. It's well ahead of our expectations and on track to continue to grow for some time to come. That's -- HPC is now included in our data center category. We won't be breaking out HPC as a separate category in the future, but it is part of our data center category, along with the datacom products and also DCI and HPC because those products are really what drives the data center revenue for us. But back to your question on HPC with AWS, the business is going very well. We're very happy with the relationship. We believe the customer are too, which we just continue to focus on doing a great job for them. And that's the best way for us to win new business is to do an excellent job with the business that we have. So that's our focus.
Operator
Our next question is from Steven Fox with Fox Advisors.
Steven Fox
Seamus, I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about the system integration business doing full system with some of the telecom networking OEMs and how that's going? I believe you talked about one major program and maybe there were others in the works. But any update there would be appreciated. And then I have a follow-up.
Seamus Grady
Yes. I mean we have a number of products that we make for our customers where we do the complete network system. The sweet spot for us, Stephen, is where we do a lot of the component content maybe first and then work our way up through -- start off with components, then do the, let's say, PCBAs and then subsystems and subassemblies all the way up to complete network systems. So it's for us and for our customers, it's very important that we have sufficient component content that we're making in order for it to be attractive for the customer and also sticky from our point of view that we're doing a lot for the customer more than just assembling systems. So that's really been our focus. That's how we've had some success with that with a number of our customers. Probably the first foray into that business for us was with the the Infinera now Nokia business when Infinera acquired Corium several years ago. We've also brought on significant Cisco complete network systems business, and we're working on 1 or 2 others. They take time. They take a long time to come to fruition, and we usually start with the components and work our way up from there. So we're working very diligently on that, and we hope to have 1 or 2 to add in the coming quarters.
Steven Fox
That's helpful. And then just on your comments about being able to improve revenue per square foot. It sounds like there's some interesting details, but I don't know maybe you want to share or don't. But beyond mix, like can you give us an idea of how you're sort of getting more out the door than maybe we would have expected 90 days ago?
Seamus Grady
Well, I mean, if you look at the nature of the products and the business that's growing for us. DCI, of course, has been really good for us. And DCI products are generally physically small in form factor and revenue dense. So as we've shipped more -- as we've been shipping more complex products to our customers, that revenue per square foot metric. And that's not to be on an end all. It's a function of better mix but also improved efficiencies and better utilization of space. So there's a number of factors that go into it. It's not only one factor, but in a broad sense, it's a combination of more complex products and therefore, more revenue dense products and also a better space utilization and efficiency improvements. We're pretty relentless about finding savings and finding better ways to utilize space and save on space because space is at a premium. So it's a combination of both, Steven.
Operator
Our next question comes from the line of Ryan Koontz with Needham & Company.
Ryan Koontz
I want to ask about the telecom and DCI business, which continues to repair really, really strong numbers. Do you think you're seeing yet impact from scale up across projects, number one. And number two, when do you think that you'll see some impact from the new multi-rail amplified densification? Is that a new market opportunity for you?
Seamus Grady
Thanks, Ryan. Yes, we believe we are seeing both a scale out and scale across in our business. Again, bear in mind our customers don't necessarily share with us their plans for where all of the products we make for them are going to end up. But we believe, yes, we are participating in both scale up, scale out and scale across but specific to DCI scale out and scale across. For the -- you asked about the multi-rail product. Multi-rail architectures, they package and manage fiber pairs as a highly integrated optical system, creating really more photonics integration and manufacturing complexity per deployment. So they're quite complex and difficult. These platforms they're highly manufacturing intensive. There's a lot of value add and complexity that goes into producing these products. You have dense fiber routing and management high-volume fusion splicing and connectorization and a whole array of precision optical manufacturing technologies and assembly processes that we're really very good at we're actively engaged with customers on programs that leverage our strengths in these areas, especially in photonics integration and packaging. And we see multi-rail programs is a really good fit for us to write in our sweet spot. They're complex. They're difficult to make. They require many process steps, which are -- which these process steps are really our secret sauce, if you like. So we're heavily engaged on a number of ultra programs with our customers. Again, not really our place to announce them, but rest assured we are heavily engaged with another customers on these programs. And we're very excited about this.
Ryan Koontz
And then maybe just a question on your recasting of the segment here. when you say telecom is going to stay in communication infrastructure, that's everything that's really rack-based, should we think of it that way? So it's line systems and rec-based transponders as opposed to DCI, which I assume is all pluggable set the split that we're going to see here.
Csaba Sverha
Yes. Ryan, this is Csaba. So let me clarify what is going into the communication infrastructure. So I think the best way to think about it is where our products or our customers' products are being deployed. So that's the #1 distinction. Whatever we see a product that goes and ends up in data center or a hyperscale infrastructure. We would categorize them under data center and then the rest of the business that traditionally has been telecom -- most of them would be network systems, but also some of the longer-term long-reach products will be also falling into this category. So it's not one fits all, but the #1 tumble is that whatever the product is getting deployed if it's a data center or hyperscale that goes into data center, everything else goes into the communication infrastructure that is supporting that.
Operator
Our next question comes from Karl Ackerman with BNP Paribas.
Karl Ackerman
Seamus, on datacom, have you seen higher interest from hyperscale customers seeking to diversify away from Chinese renter suppliers? And as you address that question, do you have the laser supply commitments needed to support the upcoming transceiver ramp in the next few months. And I have a follow-up, please.
Seamus Grady
Yes. I mean the component supply, as I said in the earlier comments, it's factored into our guidance. So we're not going to go into specifics beyond that. The proposed ban and new transceivers from China, I guess, it's not yet a done deal. It remains to be seen what will happen. We don't manufacture for any Chinese providers, and we're, of course, more focused on Western providers. So in theory, that could be a positive as long as materials and components are available. It could be a positive -- should be a positive for us, but I think it's early days. Like I said, it's not a done deal. There's a lot to be unpacked before that actually comes to fruition. A lot of the transceivers that go into these data centers are coming from China. So if you just put a block on -- ban on transceivers coming from China, the whole industry guides to a halt. Besides whether it's good or bad for Fabrinet, so I think it's by no means a done deal, and we'll see what happens.
Karl Ackerman
Within comms infrastructure, how are you thinking about the opportunity to address LEO satellites today? Could you discuss your visibility there relative to your earlier view of this year?
Seamus Grady
Yes. We include that in our telecom infrastructure category. We have a number of customers we're engaged with there, primarily the two, I would say, major players in that space and there's 1 or 2 others who are looking to get into that space that we also do business with. But for us, it's a really good pace because the technology is right in our sweet spot. We have the customers today. So as that business ramps, we feel we're very well positioned to. We're making these products. We've been making them for a number of years for one customer in particular, and now a couple of other customers. So -- and they're -- again, they're right in our sweet spot. They're very straightforward, if you like, for us to make these products that really fit well with our capabilities. So we feel good about our position there. We have the two big players. And as I said, this 1 or 2 smaller ones who were we're also working with. So we think it is a lot of potential for us.
Operator
Our next question comes from the line of Mike Genovese with Rosenblatt Securities.
Unknown Analyst
[indiscernible] stepping in for Mike. I was wondering if you can touch on the progress and mainly the timing for 1.6T driving revenue from your largest datacom customer?
Seamus Grady
Yes, that's not something we're going to update the market on in this call. This is a Fabrinet call. You'll have to talk to NVIDIA about the NVIDIA product launches. So that's not something we would be disclosing to that level of detail.
Unknown Analyst
Got it. Got it. Understood. And then just a follow-up. Just with the inventory jump, I'm assuming it's relative to supply constraints in the upcoming ramp. Is there anything else there, or is it maybe regarding that?
Csaba Sverha
Well, I think the inventory jump has to do obviously with the revenue growth. So if you look at it from other perspective, we are positioning material to continue to support our customers. The material constraints are something that we have been used to in the past several years. So those would not be a meaningful increase in our inventory. So the inventory increase has to do with our growth and then the positioning for future ramps with the customers.
Operator
Our last question, it comes from the line of Tim Savageaux with Northland Capital Markets.
Timothy Savageaux
Congrats on the results. And also, congrats on growing mid-30s with NVIDIA down 20% plus for the year. I think that's the rest of the business is up nearly 60% on that basis. So that's quite impressive. Just a couple of quick questions. First, on -- as you look for Q1 2017 guidance, I imagine data center is the primary driver, but within the three drivers that you mentioned, DCI, transceivers, high-performance compute and noting that you had a really huge quarter with Cisco and DCI, and that was evident in their results. Can you kind of give us a sense of among those categories? I imagine it's transceivers that's going to drive the majority of the growth, but I'd love to get your -- any color on that.
Seamus Grady
Well, really, first of all, thanks, Tim, I think you hit the nail on the head. We finished, if you like, a 10-year spell from up to 2024, 17% compound annual growth. And then we had 19% compound annual growth in FY '25 and then 36% in FY '26 with 45% year-on-year growth in Q4. So we're pretty happy with the growth trajectory that we're on also if you look at our performance over the last while, we have 12 consecutive quarters of record revenues and 6 consecutive quarters of accelerating year-over-year growth. So it's been -- we've been on a very nice trajectory for the last while. Within the data center business, and we think it makes sense to categorize these particular products into data center because DCI, the transceivers, of course, are inside the data centers. And then high-performance compute is also essentially data center product and DCI between the data centers. The growth in all three, we think, is robust. HPC continues to grow. We won't be breaking them out individually going forward. But HPC continues to be very strong for us. We're doing very well. And we have a number of other customers that we're focused on that are not in the revenue yet, but we're working on the transceiver business, a combination of our new customer but also success we're getting with hyperscale direct and also merchant business. That is just beginning to get going as well. And we feel very good about that. And of course, DCI has been a real success story for us. I think Csaba said in his prepared remarks, our run rate on DCI is about $1 billion. Over to you, Csaba.
Csaba Sverha
Yes. So actually, our DCI business reached close to $1 billion run rate. And if you look at our Q4 numbers, our DCI business was equivalent to our historical datacom business. So that's a meaningful growth and continues to grow.
Seamus Grady
And if you look at each of those categories, I suppose, especially DCI and the transceiver, the demand is just insatiable. It's extremely robust, and we're -- the demand is coming to us and coming at us from several directions. DCI, of course, we have really all the main players the transceiver business, historically, we've had our main customer, but now we have these other growth vectors to layer on top of that, both merchant and hyperscale direct. And the high-performance computers continues to go from strength to strength. We feel very good, Tim, about our overall position in the data center business. And what's interesting is the customers are giving us visibility well out into the end of 2027 and beyond. That doesn't mean they're giving us firm orders, but they're giving you visibility and there looks to be no end in sight to the demand from the customers. We feel very good about that.
Timothy Savageaux
Well, that is a perfect segue to my next question, which is, you've mentioned accelerating growth several times, including in response to that quick question. Although I would note at the middle of the range, might break your streak, but I imagine you're not heading for the middle of the range, still in the 40s in terms of year-over-year growth. But given that lengthy list of demand drivers and the capacity additions, is it within the bounds of reasonableness to think about annual growth in fiscal '27 accelerating from what you saw in '26, especially maybe given the lack of that headwind from your largest customer?
Seamus Grady
Yes. I think that's a good point and a good question. I think, of course, the standard answer, Tim, we guide 1 quarter at a time. However, based on the picture we have right now, it is not beyond the bond's possibility. And that's not something we would ever say. I suppose we always we guide 1 quarter a time. That's -- we're going to continue to do that. But based on the demand we're seeing, certainly, the demand is there that we could see another year of accelerating growth. It's just a staggering demand picture we're seeing from our customers. And the thing that's particularly satisfying for us is the trust that the customers are placing and it's obviously the revenue is great, don't get me wrong. But it's really the trust the customers are facing is there they're trusting us with their most important products, they're leading-edge products, and we're on a ramp with several of these customers that is just amazing. So I think it's not the underground possibility, Tim, to to answer your question.
Timothy Savageaux
Great. And let me close by adding maybe one other growth driver that I don't know that's been discussed that yet, and that's optical cross-connect OCS. And we heard last week big ramp there from the industry leader, but also I think, plans to move from strictly internal to working with contract manufacturers. I wonder if you might be able to give us an update on what you think the timing might be there for you or the opportunity? And does that lie in fiscal '27 as well?
Seamus Grady
Yes. I mean OCS it remains a great opportunity for us. It's right in our wheelhouse. It's -- the manufacturing technology is very similar to products that we're already making for our customers. So we already feel like we have a bit of a head start. So no real change in our optimism on OCS to the -- there are incremental opportunities for us and that, for us, OCS is quite small today. We are shipping some product, but it's quite small. So I think the big ramp that maybe -- has been talked about, we're pretty confident we will participate in that. So we feel very good about OCS, and I think it could be a bigger, much bigger and more meaningful category for us in the future.
Csaba Sverha
The specifics of our customers ramp, we leave that to them to talk about, I think we're well positioned.
Operator
This will conclude our Q&A session for today. I will pass it back to Seamus Grady for closing.
Seamus Grady
Thank you. Thank you for joining our call today, and we delivered an outstanding performance in Q4 with continued top line acceleration that ended a tremendous year for the company. We are entering fiscal 2027 better positioned than at any other point in our history to continue delivering strong growth in response to the increased demand that we are experiencing across our business. With our deep domain expertise and increasing capacity, we expect to extend our manufacturing leadership as a trusted partner for our customers, both complex products. We look forward to sharing more excellent results with you in the future and to seeing those of you who will be attending the Rosen Black Conference tomorrow and the Wolfe Conference in September. Thanks again, and goodbye.
