Why is Flex stock climbing today?

Flex (FLEX) stock rose 2.7% in pre-market trading after BofA Securities reiterated its Buy rating but lowered its price target to $150 from $180, citing valuation adjustments. The bank sees the current price as a buying opportunity ahead of earnings. Flex is expected to report fiscal Q2 2027 earnings of $1.05 per share and revenue of $8.18 billion, with growth driven by its Cloud and Power Infrastructure segment. Deltec Asset Management increased its FLEX position by over 40% in Q3.
