Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Flextronics (NASDAQ: FLEX) price target of $9.

Needham analyst says, "While the broader macro environment may be showing (perhaps temporary) signs of softness, FLEX's book of business is exhibiting resiliency through its recent new program momentum, global footprint and general diversification. Leveraging these variables and anticipated margin improvement (once its ODM business winds down, largely in F4Q), we expect earnings to grow double digits throughout our forecast model."

"For F2Q, our estimates become $7.8B and $0.22, vs. our previous forecast of $7.8B and $0.25 (ex. opt.). Our F12 estimates now $31.4B and $0.98 vs. prior $31.4B and $1.00."
