• Flex enjoys unanimous support from Wall Street analysts — the stock is covered by 6 researchers, all of whom issue Strong Buy ratings. See the ratings 
• KeyBanc’s Steve Barger (a top 6% rated analyst) recently maintained a Strong Buy rating on FLEX, and increased his price forecast from $60 to a Street-high $70. 
• Barger attributed their price target hike on Flex to "direct AI DC exposure" after attending the SEMICON West event.

• FLEX is the 9th highest-rated stock in the Electronic Component industry, which has an Industry Rating of A.
• Flex shares rank in the 94th percentile of the stocks that we track, giving them a Zen Rating of B. However, readers should note that FLEX is teetering on the edge of a rating upgrade — it would only have to surpass 7 stocks to qualify for a Zen Rating of A.

3. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) 

This stock was featured on our Hot or Not list the other day — and now it’s a featured Strong Buy.

• In an upbeat preview note, Hosseini told readers to expect beat and raise results.
• Looking ahead, with Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 already tracking ahead of consensus and seasonal trends, TSMC will enjoy another exceptionally strong year, the analyst said.
• Simon Coles of Barclays (a top 26% rated analyst) also maintained a Strong Buy rating on the stock, and increased his price target from $325 to $330.
• In a preview note, Coles backgrounded that recent announcements have redirected European semi-cap stocks back towards highs last seen in Q2 2024.
