Based on the aggregated intelligence of 120,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's free investing community, chip maker Flextronics International (NASDAQ:FLEX) has earned a respected four-star ranking. While five-star stocks have been the best performers, our data has shown that four-star stocks still outshine the market by a significant margin and shouldn't be taken lightly; conversely, low-rated stocks have woefully lagged the market average.

Over on CAPS, fully 383 of the 402 members who have rated Flextronics -- some 95% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include BMWDriver56 and DaBajan.

Just last month, BMWDriver56 noted that Flextronics "is selling below book, has a good balance sheet and is starting to shift its focus from buying other companies to buying back its own stock."

A pitch from DaBajan in late July follows that bullish logic, highlighting the stock's sliding price (which has continued to fall since) as an interesting bargain opportunity:

While these shares are volatile, there seems to be a growing end-market demand for electronics goods and electronics manufacturing services as a preferred method of production.

[Flextronics] has a good industry position, can take advantage of scale and is underpriced at this time.

With a broad base of service offerings low-cost production facilities, and solid management the company is well poised to get a large share of future outsourcing contracts.

Sweet eh?
