Flex Plans A Spinoff After Buying EPC Power

Flex Ltd. announced plans to spin off its power infrastructure business, EPC, into a separate company named Axiom. The move caused Flex shares to drop about 10% intraday, as investors apply a 'conglomerate discount' due to uncertainty about Axiom's standalone performance and financials. The market will now revalue the businesses separately, comparing Axiom to data-center infrastructure specialists.
