Investment Thesis — Flex Ltd.
The market is profoundly mispricing Flex Ltd. due to an unprecedented 277% short interest, overlooking its operational resilience and the immense technical pressure building for a short squeeze. This extreme bearish conviction creates an asymmetric opportunity for significant upside as shorts are forced to cover.
