Flex Ltd. (FLEX): one to watch?

Hold off — the crash looks like sector profit-taking after a huge AI-hype rally, not new bad news, but the stock is still pricey and earnings loom.

Why FLEX dropped

Multiple sources tie the drop to a broad selloff across electronic-components/AI-infrastructure manufacturers (Sanmina, TTM Technologies, Jabil all fell too), as investors take profits after Flex's huge run-up tied to S&P 500 inclusion and its planned Cloud & Power Infrastructure spin-off; no Flex-specific negative news (no guidance cut, no fraud, no lost customer) was found.
