Flex announced new NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint reference designs on 16 March 2026, offering prefabricated, modular power and liquid-cooling systems for AI data centres. The systems feature an 800 VDC Power Rack and support phased migration from traditional AC setups, positioning Flex as a systems-level partner for hyperscale AI infrastructure rather than a traditional contract manufacturer. The announcement follows Flex's expanded collaboration with AMD to build Instinct AI platforms in Austin. Together, these moves underscore Flex's strategy to become a full-stack AI hardware and infrastructure partner, though customer concentration and potential in-housing of power and cooling capabilities remain key risks. Optimistic analysts project Flex reaching $29.7 billion revenue and $1.4 billion earnings by 2028. The company's shares rose 5.1% following the announcement.
