The standout driver behind the outperformance was the company's Data Center vertical, which CEO Revathi Advaithi highlighted as central to Flex's positioning as a supply chain enabler in the AI era, with power, cooling, and scalable IT infrastructure solutions accelerating customer deployments. Adjusted operating margin reached 6.5%, which management described as a record, marking the fifth consecutive quarter at or above 6%. GAAP results were weighed down by a $19.00 million foreign tax charge and a $5.00 million asset impairment tied to a missile strike on the company's Ukraine facility. Looking ahead, Flex raised its full-year fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $3.21 to $3.27 and lifted its net sales outlook to $27.20 to $27.50 billion, with analysts noting the AI data center shift as a key catalyst reshaping the company's growth trajectory.
Key Takeaways
- • Diversified business model across industries including Data Center
- • Record adjusted operating margin of 6.5%, fifth consecutive quarter at or above 6%
- • 8% year-over-year net sales growth exceeding guidance
