1.b. Last Insights on FLEX

Flex Ltd.'s recent performance has been impacted by softness in the automotive segment, rising customer concentration risk, and ongoing investigations into potential securities law violations. Despite strong data center momentum and acquisitions driving 45% year-over-year revenue growth, the company's bottom-line performance has seen year-over-year improvement, but the stock has been volatile. The expansion of Flex's U.S. manufacturing capacity to meet growing demand for data center critical power solutions is a positive development, as is the introduction of the SmartSense Coolant Distribution Unit for AI and HPC applications.
