Although the customer was not named, management commentary during a post-earnings conference call indicated it could be the BlackBerry maker, writes Reuters. Business Update "We are delighted with the outstanding performance of our Diversified Manufacturing Services sector overall and we are actively expanding our capacity in order to meet the growing demands of numerous customers and products," said Jabil CEO Timothy Main.

"We believe success in the fourth quarter will set the stage for a brisk fiscal 2013 and a continuation of record setting years." Fiscal Q4 2012 Guidance Range
