Founded in Silicon Valley in 1969 and later redomiciled to Singapore, the company builds products other companies design, running electronics manufacturing for customers across automotive, medical, industrial, and cloud infrastructure. Contract manufacturing is a scale business with thin margins, so the strategy has been to move up into higher-value segments where engineering content and regulatory qualification make a customer harder to move. Medical devices and automotive electronics carry longer design cycles and stickier relationships than consumer hardware. Data-center power and cooling products have become the growth line. Headquarters are in Austin, Texas.

A protective put caps your downside on the FLEX position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current FLEX option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share FLEX position at $120.24 is worth $601,200. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $12,024 to $24,048) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off FLEX's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Flex equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge FLEX stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and FLEX's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current FLEX option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Flex grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Flex typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
