Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Flextronics International stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Flex’s ongoing transition to higher margin businesses is expected to hurt top-line growth in the near term. Sluggish growth expectation from the communication & telecom end-markets are also anticipated hurt revenues. Moreover, continuing investments on designing and innovation related to the “Sketch-to-Scale” portfolio transition is forecasted to keep margins under pressure. Further, leveraged balance sheet is a significant concern. Higher interest expense as well as tax rate is projected to negatively impact the bottom line. Nevertheless, Flex’s diverse end-market and expanding partner base is positive. However, the stock has underperformed the broader market on a year-to-date basis. Meanwhile, estimates have been going down lately ahead of the company's Q1 earnings release. The company has mixed record of earnings surprises in the recent quarters." (7/27/2017)
• 2. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "FLEX reported Dec-qtr results and guided Marqtr largely inline with expectations. The notable standout was strong FCF generation ($363M or $0.66/share) in Dec-qtr that highlights the strong FCF generation of this model as investors await benefits of multiple new ramps ' Nike, Bose, and other non-tech (consumer and healthcare) programs. We continue to expect in CY17 FLEX will see modest revenue growth (tech flat to down, but non-tech up double digits) and steady margin, EPS and FCF growth. We expect Nike program at volume to be $1B + revenues (2 years away) and generate op-margins of 8-10%. Maintain OP but modestly raising our estimates and adjusting our target to $17 (prior $16)."

• 3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Over the past few years, the mix at FLEX has been transitioning quite a bit while providing a more sustainable source of income generation. This is a dynamic we expect to continue as non-traditional segments (IEI & HRS) have solid long-term opportunities in under-penetrated markets while segments such as CTG are overhauled into next-gen and higher tech (i.e., Nike and Bose ramps); both bring very healthy income opportunities. In the big picture, we see an improving model in terms of diversity and a solid pathway toward accelerated income growth. Consequently, we reiterate our Buy and bump our target up slightly."
