Flex (FLEX) Stock May Be 45% Undervalued Following Cloud Spin Off Plans

Flex Ltd. has been a powerful wealth creator over the past few years, and the question now is whether the current US$88.10 share price is still supported by the cash flows the business can realistically generate. After such a strong run, investors are increasingly asking if the market is simply extrapolating the story or if the underlying cash stream is keeping pace.

• Flex has delivered a very large 5 year return, which puts real pressure on the numbers to show that today’s valuation is grounded in durable cash generation rather than just share price momentum.
• Recent results and the planned spin off of the Cloud and Power Infrastructure segment signal a shift in how Flex may earn and reinvest cash, which can reshape both the level and timing of future cash flows available to shareholders.
• What if you looked at Flex through its earnings instead? See what Flex's 31.4x P/E says about the price.

The stock's next move may depend on whether Flex's current market value lines up with what its cash flows suggest the business is intrinsically worth.

Is Flex Still Cheap on Cash Flow?

The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model here focuses on what Flex can return to shareholders through future free cash generation. Over the last twelve months the business produced about $951.7 million of free cash flow, and the model then assumes that this cash stream grows rather than shrinks over time.

Analysts feeding into the DCF expect Flex’s annual free cash flow to move into the multi billion dollar range by the late 2020s, with growth slowing gradually after that as the company matures. Because the projections keep that higher cash run rate going for an extended period, the DCF outcome sits substantially above the current $88.10 share price. The recent Q2 fiscal 2027 report and the planned Cloud and Power Infrastructure spin off help explain why the cash flow outlook used in the model is so strong, even if the market price has not fully followed it yet.
