Flex10-Q: Inventory issue

Inventory balance surged by $600 million in a single quarter, pressuring working capital.

What happened

Flex's inventory increased by $600 million, driving a $0.7 billion rise in net working capital. This significant build-up ties up substantial cash and indicates potential pain points in demand forecasting, production planning, or supply chain management, making the company a likely candidate for optimization solutions.
