Flex Shares Jump 2.59% on Earnings Beat, Trading Volume Surges 98.5% to Rank 354th

On July 29, 2025, Flex (FLEX) surged 2.59% with a trading volume of $330 million, a 98.49% increase from the previous day, ranking 354th in market activity. The stock’s performance followed the release of its fiscal first-quarter results, which showed stronger-than-expected earnings and revenue growth.

The electronics manufacturer reported $6.58 billion in revenue, exceeding analyst forecasts by 4.22%, driven by robust demand in data center and power segments. Non-GAAP earnings per share reached $0.72, 12.3% above consensus estimates. The company also raised its full-year 2026 guidance, citing momentum in design wins and margin expansion.

Analysts upgraded Flex’s stock rating to “strong-buy” from “buy” amid improved market confidence. Institutional ownership increased as hedge funds and investors added shares during the second quarter. However, recent insider transactions saw key executives reducing their holdings, raising questions about near-term sentiment.

Flex’s stock has climbed to a 52-week high, supported by its strategic focus on EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) and AI-driven supply chain innovations. The company’s recent recognition with a 2025 Manufacturing Leadership Award further reinforced its market position.

A backtesting analysis of a strategy buying top 500 volume stocks and holding them for one day from 2022 to 2025 showed a 166.71% return, outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. The approach achieved a 31.89% CAGR, 0.00% maximum drawdown, and a Sharpe ratio of 1.14.
