Flex shareholders are being handed 88% to 94% of the company carrying that mark. At an Innovation Day in Austin this morning, Axiom Solutions International, the cloud and power business [Flex](https://theinference.org/markets/companies/flex) is separating in the first quarter of 2027, gave its [first standalone investor presentation, filed by Flex in an 8-K](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/866374/000119312526454502/0001193125-26-454502-index.htm) [1]. The deck estimates about $9.7 billion of revenue for calendar 2026, an adjusted EBITDA margin around 11%, negative free cash flow and capital spending near 10% of sales [2]. ## The price was set before the numbers were The outside mark came five weeks earlier, on October 2: General Catalyst and Koch Equity Development agreed to buy [$2.0 billion of Series A convertible preferred](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/866374/000119312526413173/d123485dex991.htm), 200,000 shares at $10,000 each, an initial enterprise value of $37.5 billion [3][5]. A day after the announcement, Flex's entire market capitalization was $43.1 billion [4]. ## Holders hand over 88% to 94% of Axiom On November 2 [shareholders voted 310,323,729 to 213,425](https://wallstreetbets.com/news/flex-shareholders-approve-separation-of-cloud-and-power-unit-into) to distribute 88.0% to 94.0% of Axiom common stock, leaving Flex a 6% to 12% stake it plans to exchange for its own debt within 24 months [1][5][6]. The preferred ranks ahead of that common: 10% a year in cash until separation, roughly $200 million against the $1.1 billion or so of EBITDA implied by an 11% margin on $9.7 billion, then 6% cash or 7% paid in kind, plus a General Catalyst board seat [2][3]. Conversion is capped at a $37.5 billion enterprise value, with a $30 billion floor [2]. *Chart: **The $37.5B mark equals a full year of Axiom's 2030 revenue target** Bar chart comparing Axiom revenue estimates for 2026, 2027 and 2030 with the $37.5 billion enterprise value set in the preferred investment agreement* *Axiom CY26E is a company estimate, CY27 a company outlook and CY30E a company framework rather than guidance; enterprise value is the initial mark in the October 5 preferred agreement. Sources: Axiom investor presentation, Nov 10, 2026; Flex press release, Oct 5, 2026. [2][3]* ## The deck asks for a doubling, then another Axiom's outlook is $20 to $21 billion of revenue in 2027, which it calls 95% secured through backlog and customer commitments including co-investment, and $37 billion-plus by 2030, with margins in the high teens and power margins in the high 20s against a 24% peer median for 2027 [2]. The mark is about four times this year's revenue, and roughly one full year of the 2030 target [2]. ## Two clocks run against the spin The [$4.4 billion EPC Power purchase](https://devcuration.com/articles/axiom-agrees-2b-preferred-investment-flex-spin-off) closed October 14 on a $3.3 billion term loan and a $1.1 billion bridge, both maturing October 2027; the preferred, still unclosed, is earmarked to repay them [7]. The agreement lets Flex call the money with five business days' notice, and nothing forces the call before the debt is due [5]. If the spin slips past December 31, 2027, holders can require redemption at 115% of stated value in cash or 125% in Flex shares, under a Flex guarantee [5]. The market has already flinched once: shares fell 6.9% on October 13 as investors weighed the valuation against the unit's margins and capital spending [8]. The Inference laid out [the debt clock](https://theinference.org/article/flex-funded-its-4-4-billion-epc-power-purchase-with-loans-due-october-13-2027-ahead-of-the-axiom-spin-off) on October 14 and [the stub math](https://theinference.org/article/axiom-leaves-flex-with-the-growth-the-ceo-and-a-4-4-billion-debt-clock) on November 2 [8]. Watch the funding notice for the preferred, Axiom's first standalone quarter against the $20 to $21 billion year, and the spin date itself. The preferred is an option on 2030 that pays 10% to wait; the common being distributed is the same option without the coupon. ## Takeaway Axiom's first standalone deck shows $9.7 billion of revenue against a $37.5 billion mark set before the numbers existed, with the spin's funding still unclosed and a December 2027 deadline that pays holders 115% if it slips. ## Sources 1.
