Investment thesis

FLEX LNG is a high-quality cash-generating business — free cash flow runs at 133% of net income and margins are strong — but the stock has already reached or exceeded analyst price targets, revenue is declining, and three consecutive earnings misses have eroded confidence; the reward/risk is unfavorable at current levels.
