TD Synnex CEO: The AI boom is real and moving into production

TD Synnex CEO Patrick Zammit addressed investor concerns over cash flow, emphasizing the company's record third fiscal quarter of 2026, driven by strong demand in enterprise AI, hyperscaler growth, and market share gains.

According to reporting by CRN, Zammit stated that TD Synnex is experiencing broad-based growth across various segments, with both its distribution and Hyve hyperscale businesses outperforming the market. He attributed the stock's dip to temporary working-capital needs associated with Hyve's expansion with new hyperscaler clients, rather than fundamental business weakness. Hyve, which now serves all five hyperscalers, saw revenue growth of 113 percent, while distribution grew 27 percent.

Zammit highlighted that enterprise AI is transitioning from proof-of-concept to production, fueling demand for inference infrastructure and security refreshes, which benefits TD Synnex's distribution model. He also dismissed concerns about an AI bubble, citing consistent demand and backlog, and noted the company's flexibility to manage working capital in response to market shifts. TD Synnex reported $21.6 billion in revenue for the quarter, a 37.7 percent increase year-over-year.
