Very strange stock..


FLEX -3.43 to 7.48 after beating estimates but lowering guidance - I think this selloff is overdone a picked up a very small starter position this morning .... the stock was near $20 in January and doesn't deserve to be down 62% from the high now trading at just 7x Mar FY19 guidance .... historically the stock has traded at a forward PE averaging around 12x, so now looks cheap at a 40% discount to the norm.

Flextronics is a contract manufacturer, based in Singapore and with operations around the world.

briefing -

Flex beats by $0.01, misses on revs; guides Q3 EPS below consensus, revs below consensus; guides FY19 EPS below consensus, revs below consensus; ANnounces wind down of NKE operations in Mexico, CEO McNamara retires (10.91 +0.01) :

Fudalies...... And Ramberts....You made at least 5 points:

1] Re listing Maybe i don't know.

2] Active proposals.....You are wrong. There are active proposals and they will require test units.It has been announced.

3] Breastaware, Washable Keyboards, UK Air Bearings....Long ago and with partners who could not follow through.

4] Saudi Aramco, Power Line Monitoring, Castrol, General Motors... This was the beginning of the Industrial Internet of Thing focus and will be productive.
A] Saudi Aramco...deferred to other oil company to take the lead. IMO, not dead.
B] Power Line Monitoring....Still a viable product...Can come back with a different partner.
C] Castrol....Replaced by Repsol ...Announced last year.
D] GM....Flextronics made inferior parts. Maybe new partner????

5] "Private Placement buyers" were supposedly enticed with hints of upcoming news/info pertaining to Honda and some Arizona Power Plant.
IMO... Well not the MOST RECENT were NOT enticed by the above....Enough said.

Thanks for providing the opportunity of your opinions for me to respond with my opinions based on in depth research and knowledge.

Companies to Develop Digital Health Solutions to Improve Diabetes Care
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Flex (NASDAQ:FLEX), the Sketch-to-Scale® solutions provider that designs and builds Intelligent Products for a Connected World®, today announced a partnership with Novo Nordisk to develop digital health solutions for diabetes patients. After rigorous evaluation, Novo Nordisk selected the medical-grade BrightInsight™ platform from Flex Digital Health to build and operate these solutions and securely manage millions of its smart medical devices and the corresponding data within a regulatory-compliant environment.

BrightInsight provides a unified IoT platform that enables organizations to develop and host digital health devices, apps and algorithms at scale while maintaining compliance with privacy, security and regulatory requirements across the globe. Compared to building a custom platform from scratch, BrightInsight's robust functionality facilitates lower costs and accelerates time to market.

"Traditional methods of managing diabetes have not kept pace with a world moving at digital speed," said Kal Patel, M.D. and SVP of Digital Health at Flex. "BrightInsight securely unlocks real-world data and actionable insights, enabling pharma and medtech companies to develop advanced, regulated digital health solutions that enable automated clinical decisions and better engagement between clinicians and people with diabetes."

By collaborating with Flex and utilizing Flex's established platform, BrightInsight, Novo Nordisk can focus on developing innovative medicines with the goal of improving patient outcomes.

"Addressing the growing diabetes epidemic takes more than best-in-class medicines alone. We need to engage with people on their level and integrate with the solutions they are already using to manage their diabetes," said Anders Dyhr Toft, corporate vice president of Commercial Innovation at Novo Nordisk. "Medical-grade digital health platforms like BrightInsight are key to helping us improve the dialogue between people with diabetes and their caregivers."

BrightInsight is an advanced, medical-grade managed service platform that can capture and analyze data from connected medical devices, combination products, apps or Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) in a secure, regulatory-compliant environment. BrightInsight's Device Master File has been accepted by the FDA and Flex Digital Health is ISO 13485:2016 certified.

This announcement further builds on Flex's current Sketch-to-Scale engagement to help design and manufacture elements of Novo Nordisk's new connected insulin pens. The new partnership with Novo Nordisk follows another recent milestone for Flex Digital Health, the inauguration of the BrightInsight Clinical Board, which was established to incorporate physician insight and workflow experience in the development of digital health tools. In addition, Flex Digital Health and the Boston Consulting Group recently published a white paper titled, "The Evolving Role of the Biopharma and Medtech CIO: How to Succeed in Today's Digital Era."

thought many would like to know this

Shares of Flex (FLEX) were climbing in late-morning trading on Wednesday as Goldman Sachs added the stock to its "Conviction Buy" list.

Price target of 16. Pretty conservative, imo

This helps with my concerns

JPMorgan initiated coverage of Flextronics International Ltd. (NASDAQ: FLEX) with an Overweight rating and $15 price target, saying the company's strategy to shift to higher margin businesses would increase market share and margin expansion.

The initiation note comes as Flextronics is set to report its fourth-quarter results on April 28. The Street expects earnings of $0.28 a share on revenue of $5.80 billion.

I'm little concerned about their Q4 earnings. Have you done any DD? Looks like consensus is .276 for Q4. Lots of insider activity. 96% of OS is institutionally held.
I would like to think they'll beat the estimates but just don't hear enough to really know.
Any thoughts?

Run silent run deep. Steady as she goes.
$FLEX
still looking good

IDXG just getting primed for a run$$

Yes!! over 12.

Run silent run deep. Steady as she goes.

$FLEX 11.85 not much on the dips. A good problem to have I guess.

Next "Q" higher for sure.

$FLEX getting there hit 12$ today :)

I'll repeat UBS has a more than fair price target of 13.50 on this stock. We should see that number come next Q report.

IPRU getting ready for penny land.

UBS has a price target of 13.50 on this stock.

what is interesting to me is how this company trades well below all of its competition. Said another way. All the other chip makers trade in around a P/E of twenty. That makes this company undervalued even at 13 to 15 a share. I suspect many will pickup on that fact and the stock will move higher.

The Company ($FLEX) is in high demand from many heavy
player's in the #tech industry, as a can do, getter done,
go to Company. IMO the stock will be in higher demand as well
Wouldn't doubt $13 short term.

Completely unvalued stock, IMO How many tech companies like this trade at such a low P/E? Most would be trading at twice the current level.

Very strong for sure. I see a pretty good move higher this year. Hang on!!!

They can also buy back stock on down days. And probably do.
$FLEX looking strong

Stock is showing strength in this up and down market. I'll repeat my price target,13 - 15 this year.

No idea,to be honest. Under ten is a great price,imo.

Do you have any idea why it went to $9 a couple months ago? Seems like a lot of analyst buy recommendations on this name, yet the stock is near year lows

They're doing work with Fitbit, Nike, Ford and many more. Latest PR indicates the medical field devices which I feel will be a big opportunity. What made me really take notice, CEO stated they bought back some 30% of their stock in the last five years.

Interesting stock. At first I thought this was a small cap and then I looked and saw its a 5B company!

They are contract manufacturers?

What a great stock,imo. Over the last five years the company has repurchased one third of the OS.
They continue to make progress, check latest pr. I see a much higher PPS in the short and long term.

I feel pretty good as my order filled today. I like both the short and long term outlook.

The good thing about it $FLEX will be recognized and appreciated
in the future. The high profile tech Companies need them.
Flex is highly in demand and they grow to meet demand.
I've accumulated some @$10s and $9 all along
For the past year bought some to trade as well
When it taps $13.

Seems as if almost no one knows about this stock? A pullback to the 9.80 range should make it a screaming buy.
The CEO stated in the interview that they have bought back a third of their stock in the last 5 years.
THAT IS GOOD SIGN!

As part of the Company’s share repurchase plan, its Board of Directors has authorized management to continue its share repurchase plan for the Company’s issued ordinary shares in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500 million.

$FLEX Citigroup likes contract manufacturers because they should benefit as demand for sophisticated automotive content grows. It adds Flextronics (FLEX) to its buy list on "margin expansion potentials driven by favorable product mix and topline leverage." FLEX recently acquired Mirror Controls International, an automotive mirror company, in an effort to expand its car-related manufacturing. It has added companies in the solar and home automation sector as well. Citi expects these to add to margin growth and ups 2016 and 2017 EPS estimates by 3%. Citi also thinks the company's stock buyback strategy should benefit shares which are down nearly 3% YTD. FLEX is up 0.5% at $10.85. (patrick.sheridan@wsj.com; @patmsheridan)
