TE’s global leadership position in electric vehicles has once again enabled us to achieve strong results in the transportation solutions segment. We continue to capitalize on the growth momentum in renewable energy applications and the continued recovery in the commercial aviation and medical markets for industrial solutions. “While communications electronics solutions (sales) were generally down as expected, it is encouraging that TE continues to win projects in AI applications, and our high-speed connectivity solutions in this area will drive future growth.”
