In the current session, the stock is trading at $43.93, after a 0.16% increase. Over the past month, Flex Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLEX#NASDAQ">FLEX</a>) stock increased by 3.33%, and in the past year, by 35.73%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Flex P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Flex has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 105.49 of the Electronic Equipment, Instruments &amp; Components industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749661225_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Flex's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Flex's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.19%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.

Flex Chief Accounting Officer Sold $281K In Company Stock

Flex's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLEX#NYSE">FLEX</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.95% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.47 million shares sold short, which is 3.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Flex's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Flex's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.06%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>The Relevance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Deciphering Transaction Codes in Insider Filings</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing.

Insider Decision: Daniel Wendler Offloads $189K Worth Of Flex Stock

Flex Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLEX#NASDAQ">FLEX</a>) is expanding its European footprint to meet the rising energy demands of AI-powered data centers.
On Tuesday, the company's Anord Mardix division <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45375029/flexs-critical-power-business-doubles-its-european-footprint-to-meet-growing-ai-data-center-power-">opened a 600,000-square-foot</a> manufacturing facility in Bielsko-Biała, Poland, doubling its critical power production capacity in Europe. The move supports Flex's long-term strategy to scale infrastructure for artificial intelligence workloads.
The Poland plant follows a recent capacity boost in Dundalk, Ireland, where a second facility—known as "D2"—added 120,000 square feet to assemble switchgear systems. These expansions are part of Flex's broader effort to meet surging demand for stable and scalable data center power solutions across Europe.
Flex is also scaling operations in the U.S. with a new manufacturing and assembly site in Dallas, Texas. To further enhance its data center product portfolio, it has acquired Crown Technical Systems, a power distribution specialist, and JetCool Technologies, a liquid cooling firm.
The Bielsko-Biała facility, which employs more than 700 workers, will produce Low and Medium Voltage Switchgear, PowerPods, and Busway systems. These products are designed to accelerate and streamline data center deployment from the electrical grid to the processor chip. 
Chris Butler, president of Embedded and Critical Power at Flex, said the company&#8217;s European expansion highlights its commitment to delivering advanced infrastructure for the AI era. Flex operates over 30 manufacturing locations across EMEA and maintains more than 11 million square feet of regional capacity in Europe.
Last week, Flex surpassed Wall Street expectations for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45266856/whats-going-on-with-flex-stock-today">fourth-quarter</a> results, posting $0.73 in adjusted EPS and $6.4 billion in revenue. CEO Revathi Advaithi emphasized record operating margins and noted it was Flex's fifth consecutive year of double-digit earnings growth..
Price Action: FLEX shares were trading higher by 2.23% at $41.79 at the last check on Tuesday.
