What Is The Market Telling Us
Flex’s shares are very volatile and have had 26 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 7 days ago when the stock gained 8.7% on the news that Iran-US peace deal progress and falling Treasury yields restored corporate confidence.
This could serve as a catalyst for CFOs to greenlight the consulting, staffing, and outsourcing contracts they had paused during the conflict. Business services companies make money on "white collar GDP." So when the macro picture improves, project backlogs unfreeze, and the firms that execute them get paid.
Flex is up 145% since the beginning of the year, and at $156.16 per share, it has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Flex’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $8,413.
