Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $56.65 per share, and 0 of the 24 models we run sit above the $117.24 price.
Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $9.33, and 24 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Scenario range: $32.00 (bear) to $73.64 (bull), the price of $117.24 sits above it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target.

The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector.

What moves the price
The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat.
The share trades about 28% below its 52-week high and 115% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average.
For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −45% fair-value upside, at −57%, FLEX screens richer than that median.

Price $117.24 · Upside -56.7%
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above is their evidence-weighted blend, not the output of a single model. Based on fiscal year 2026 figures (about 6 months old). Earnings retained since then ($1.39 per share) are deliberately not added.Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds.Evidence ⓘEvidence = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card.76/100
Revenue growth appears healthy and is supported by profitability and cash-flow quality.
What shareholders gained per year (last 5 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 5 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate.

Earnings growth per share plus dividend.
Earnings per share, growth per year+20.8%
Dividend (yield on the price)0.0%

Labelled "steady" when both rates are within 3 percentage points of each other, otherwise picking up or flattening. Shown only when ten years of history exist.20.8% vs 14.8%, picking up

Growth Forecast
Price in line with expectations
The price assumes more growth than the company has delivered so far and about what analysts expect.
What the price assumes ⓘThis turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).
+27.5%
Yearly growth needed for the next five years to justify today's price.
What forecasts expect ⓘAnalysts publish sales forecasts for the next two fiscal years. For the years after that, growth slows evenly to 2 % a year by year ten (2 % is the long-run rate our models use). Projected years are marked as such.
+24.5%
Yearly sales growth analysts expect, extended to five years.
After inflation (USA: IMF forecast 2.4% a year to 2030, 3.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about +24.5% a year for the price and +21.6% for the forecasts.
News mood ⓘNews mood, the average tone of recent news (99 articles), rated against how stocks are usually covered. 🚀 Hype = unusually upbeat · 🙂 Positive = above average · 😐 Neutral = typical · 🙁 Negative = below average · 😨 Very negative = unusually downbeat. It reflects the tone of coverage, not our valuation.Hype
Recent news coverage is unusually upbeat, far more positive than stocks are typically covered.
AI conclusion: Flex's EMS business offers average scale benefits as its main strength but is hampered by thin margins and operations that competitors can easily replicate.
Main risk: The planned separation of the Cloud and Power Infrastructure segment risks stripping scale benefits from the remaining EMS operations and pressuring already thin margins.
Flex is securing a new short-term loan to fund its EPC Power acquisition, adding power conversion capabilities aimed at AI data centers, while preparing to spin off its Cloud and Power Infrastructure segment as Axiom with a fresh strategic investment. Our models currently see it as overvalued. Will the added power expertise bolster the remaining operations enough to drive sustained growth, or will separation leave the core business exposed to slower momentum?

Our models discount Flex Ltd at 10.7 %: a base by market capitalisation (large), damped by beta 1.65, country premium for USA. The same rate applies in all 26 models.
What is a reverse DCF?
A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For Flex Ltd that is +27.5 % per year a year over ten years, using the same discount rate (10.7 %) and the same formula as our fair value.

Over the past 5 years revenue at Flex Ltd grew +3.0 % a year. The price currently implies +27.5 % per year free-cash-flow growth a year. Comparing the two shows how much confidence is in the price: if it demands more than has been delivered, the business has to accelerate for the maths to work.

The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 2.40 %: that much free cash flow Flex Ltd produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (10.7 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.

Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For Flex Ltd it is $50.79 per share (as of Oct 12, 2026), against a price of $117.24. It is the blended result of 24 valuation models (cash flow, earnings, asset, dividend).

What is the P/E ratio of FLEX?
Flex Ltd trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 45.4 (as of Oct 12, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of $50.79 is built from several models across several years. Other multiples: PEG 0.9, P/B 8.5, P/S 1.5, EV/EBITDA 21.3.
