The Zacks analyst is negative on the industry as a whole, however they rate Flextronics' stock a Hold given its leadership position.
With continued weakness in residential real estate, the consumer business is likely to remain weak, which could pose a risk for Flextronics as 20% of its revenue currently comes from the consumer business.
