On June 23, Flex Ltd fell 5.31% in regular trading, trading at $150.045/share, with turnover of $134 million. The decline comes as a classic buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news pattern unfolds following the company's formal inclusion in the S&P 500 index.
Flex was officially added to the S&P 500 before market open on June 22, replacing Pool Corp. On the effective date, concentrated passive fund allocation drove the stock up 3.31%. With the index inclusion event now fully priced in, short-term profit-taking pressure has intensified significantly. The stock had previously rallied on a combination of the S&P 500 announcement and the planned spin-off of its Cloud Computing and Power Infrastructure (CPI) business into a standalone publicly traded company.
The broader Electronic Manufacturing Services sector is experiencing synchronized weakness, amplifying downward pressure. Within the sector, Celestica fell 6.72%, TTM Technologies dropped 6.10%, Fabrinet declined 4.91%, Jabil Circuit lost 3.26%, and TE Connectivity slid 2.25%.
