Description: FLEX Flex December 19, 2025
Flex Ltd. (NASDAQ:FLEX) is a global contract manufacturer that delivers technology-innovation, supply-chain, and production services across a broad portfolio that includes data-center and cloud infrastructure, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial equipment, and medical devices. The business is organized into two operating segments: Flex Agility Solutions (FAS), which focuses on high-volume, rapidly changing products such as smartphones, smart-home appliances, and edge-computing hardware; and Flex Reliability Solutions (FRS), which handles low-volume, high-complexity programs like automotive power-electronics, renewable-energy hardware, and regulated medical devices.
In FY 2023 Flex generated $27.4 billion in revenue, with an operating margin of roughly 4.2 % and a free-cash-flow conversion of 6 %. The company’s “high-mix, low-volume” FRS segment contributed about 28 % of total revenue but delivered a disproportionate share of operating profit, reflecting the premium pricing of specialized, regulated products. Flex’s cash-conversion cycle has tightened to 45 days, indicating improved working-capital efficiency relative to the 2022 average of 52 days.
Key macro drivers for Flex include the accelerating demand for data-center capacity (driven by AI and cloud workloads), the electrification of vehicles (which fuels growth in automotive power-electronics), and the resurgence of near-shoring in electronics manufacturing as companies seek to reduce geopolitical risk and supply-chain latency. Flex’s exposure to these trends is quantified by a 12-month forward-looking revenue mix that is estimated to be 35 % data-center/edge, 25 % automotive, and 20 % consumer electronics, with the remainder split among industrial and medical segments.
