Friday, May 3, 9:49 AM Flextronics (FLEX -0.4%) CFO Paul Read is resigning to "pursue new opportunities," the company announces. Chief accounting officer Chrisopher Collier will replace him.

Tuesday, February 12, 9:58 AM Flextronics (FLEX -0.5%) announces a $1B debt refinancing: the contract manufacturer plans to issue fresh senior notes to repay borrowings made through an '07 term loan facility.

SANM +3.2%. JBL +2.1%. FLEX +2.1%. BHE +4.5%. JDSU +2.3%. FNSR +4%. OCLR +1.9%. The gains come even though Fabrinet is guiding for FQ3 revenue of $147M-$151M and EPS of $0.29-$0.31, below a consensus of $161.7M and $0.37. Optical component stocks have been on a tear lately.

Thursday, January 24, 5:18 PM Tech guidance roundup: 1) Cirrus Logic (CRUS - earnings) expects FQ4 revenue of $200M-$220M, below a $234.9M consensus. This seems priced in following recent events. 2) Maxim (MXIM - earnings) expects FQ3 revenue of $580M-$610M and EPS of $0.39-$0.43, in-line with a consensus of $599.2M and $0.40. 3) Flextronics (FLEX - earnings) expects FQ4 revenue of $5B-$5.3B and EPS of $0.11-$0.15, below a consensus of $5.69B and $0.20.

Sunday, January 6, 3:08 AM Flextronics (FLEX) could need another 1M square feet of factory space in the U.S. over the next five years, CEO Mike McNamara says, adding to the 4M square feet the electronics outsourcer already has. It's getting "easier to justify" production in the U.S., McNamara says, although he warns that many obstacles remain, such as high taxes, and health-care and regulatory expenses. Comment! [Tech, U.S. Economy]
Monday, December 24, 2012, 11:51 AM Printed circuit board makers posted their second-lowest November book-to-bill ratio for the last decade, according to trade group IPC. Consider that one more sign broader consumer electronics/IT hardware demand remains soft in spite of the smartphone/tablet boom. The data leads Topeka's Brian White to think contract manufacturers such as Jabil (JBL), Flextronics (FLEX), and Sanmina (SANM) will continue having a hard time. (NPD data) 2 Comments [Tech]
Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 5:35 PM More on Jabil: FQ2 guidance is for revenue of $4.3B-$4.5B and EPS of $0.50-$0.58 vs. a consensus of $4.38B and $0.59. A 20% Y/Y increase in diversified manufacturing services, including a 51% increase for the Specialized Services sub-unit, fueled the beat. Tero Kuittinen wonders if this was due to RIM (a Jabil client) transferring orders from Celestica. Enterprise/infrastructure services +17%, High Velocity sales -20%. $129M in shares repurchased. JBL +5.8% AH. FLEX +0.8%. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 1:39 PM The index-makers at the Nasdaq are good at selling the bottom: The average one-year return of stocks getting kicked out of the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) is more than 63%, according to Schaeffer's. "You buy low expectations, not low price," says Ryan Detrick. "Getting kicked out of the QQQ probably is a sign things can't get much worse." Full list of the 10 exiting on Monday. 1 Comment [Tech]
