Flex Ltd : Redefining Data Center Leadership with JetCool Acquisition & “Grid-to-Chip” Innovation —The AI Cooling Game Changer?
Flex delivered strong Q2 FY2025 results, with revenue of $6.55B surpassing estimates by $48.80M and adjusted EPS of $0.64 setting a new quarterly record (+12% YoY). Gross margin expanded 90 basis points to 8.5%, and operating margin hit a record 5.5%, reflecting disciplined execution and an accretive mix shift toward high-value verticals. Agility Solutions revenue of $3.6B was flat YoY, but robust growth in cloud (+40% YoY) offset softness in non-cloud networking. Reliability Solutions, with revenue of $2.9B, saw resilience in power and medical devices, despite macro-driven automotive and industrial weakness. Strategic initiatives, including the JetCool acquisition, position Flex for leadership in AI cooling solutions. JetCool’s patented microconvective cooling technologies enhance thermal density and efficiency in hyperscale and enterprise data centers, aligning with AI and HPC demand. Additionally, the acquisition of Crown Technical Systems strengthens Flex’s role in grid modernization, tapping into medium-voltage switchgear and modular power pod demand. Sustainability efforts, such as HP’s HOPE program, highlight Flex’s commitment to ESG priorities. Guidance reflects operational discipline, with reaffirmed operating margin targets of 5.4%-5.5% and robust free cash flow generation of $451M YTD. Can Flex sustain its margin leadership and capitalize on AI-driven data center demand while navigating near-term automotive and industrial market headwinds?
