>I believe FLEX is cheaper based on prospective earnings. Because the companies are growing rapidly I think PE ratios based on prospective earnings are the better guide. JMHO<
I need help! I do not see this when I compare Jabil and Flex. I must be missing something. (But don't I wish I owned some FLEX!) I started to research Flex just when they were changing their symbol from FLEXF to FLEX and getting complete information was difficult and led me to miss this jump from the 40's to now 80's.
Some of the comparison between JBL and Flex has led me to hold JBL and do no accumulating of FLEX. Data from Hoovers.
REVENUE / EMPLOYEE ratio is much higher for Jabil. Jabil is nearly doing the same revenue with 1/2 of the employees. Maybe I should interpret this as FLEX has capacity for growth.
JBL (11/30/98) 1,277,000,000 Revenue / 5,311 employees = $240,444
FLEX (As of 9/30/98)1,113,100,000/11,300 = $98,504
Gross and Net Profit margins are higher for Jabil.Return on Equity and Return on Assets are higher for Jabil.
I must be missing something. Flex just continues to move. Do not get me wrong, I am quite pleased with Jabil stock performance the past two months. I keep seeing these comments on how FLEX has a better future. I think Jabil's future is VERY bright.
Can anyone help me in this FLEX and JBL comparison?
