Flex posted fiscal third quarter revenue of $7.1 billion, up 8%, with a record adjusted EPS of $0.87, up 13%, and a record adjusted operating margin of 6.5%, up 40 basis points. Reliability revenue accelerated to $3.2 billion, up 10%, on power, core industrial and health solutions, while Agility grew 6% on cloud. Reported GAAP EPS slipped year-over-year on a higher 21% tax rate and consigned-inventory mix, but GAAP operating income grew nearly 20%, evidence of genuine operating leverage rather than margin pressure. Management raised full-year FY2026 guidance to revenue of $27.2 billion to $27.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.21 to $3.27, and pointed to an embedded-power technology shift toward 800-volt DC and one-megawatt racks as a multi-year growth driver.
