AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Flex (Nasdaq: FLEX) today unveiled Axiom Solutions International, Inc. (Axiom) as the name of its planned independent Cloud and Power Infrastructure company and filed its preliminary Form 10 registration statement (Form 10) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking a key milestone in the planned spin-off from Flex (Spin-Off). Following completion of the planned Spin-Off, Axiom is expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “AXM.”

The Form 10 provides additional information about Axiom, including its business, strategy, financial profile, leadership team and the anticipated terms of the separation.

“Axiom is built to lead the next generation of critical digital and electrical infrastructure,” said Revathi Advaithi, Flex Chief Executive Officer and expected Chief Executive Officer of Axiom. “By bringing together power, thermal management and compute at the system level, we help customers deploy increasingly complex infrastructure with greater speed and scale, as AI drives new demands on the physical infrastructure behind it.”

The name Axiom reflects a foundational principle: bringing together power, cooling and compute at the system level to support the reliable, scalable infrastructure needed for the future.

The planned separation is expected to be completed in the first quarter of calendar 2027, subject to customary conditions, including, among other things, final approval by the Flex Board of Directors, the effectiveness of the Form 10 and Flex shareholder and Singapore High Court approval.

Upon completion, Flex and Axiom are expected to operate as independent publicly traded companies. Additional details on each company’s strategy will be shared at Innovation Day on November 10, 2026, in Austin, Texas.

Real Estate Expert Robert Ramey Explains Coastal Real Estate Investing in HelloNation

Published

on

By

The article examines coastal rentals, property maintenance, flood considerations, and long-term appreciation for buyers and investors in Virginia Beach.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should buyers and investors understand before purchasing property in Virginia Beach’s coastal real estate market? That question is answered in a HelloNation article featuring Real Estate Expert Robert Ramey of Robert Ramey – Howard Hanna Real Estate Services.

Ramey explains that successful investing in Virginia Beach real estate begins with understanding how the coastal environment affects both property value and rental potential. The city attracts a steady mix of tourists, military families, and year-round residents, which creates a strong foundation for consistent demand. Investors who study local trends, from seasonal rentals to long-term leasing opportunities, can position themselves to benefit from both short-term and lasting growth.

Seasonal rentals remain one of the most visible opportunities in the area. The HelloNation article highlights how rental demand peaks from late spring through early fall, with consistent occupancy from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Popular neighborhoods such as Chic’s Beach, the North End, and the South End attract visitors seeking quiet blocks, walkable streets, and direct access to the bay or ocean. Because this tourist season follows a predictable pattern, investors in these communities can plan income forecasts with a high degree of confidence.

Sandbridge receives special attention as one of Virginia Beach’s most distinct coastal markets. The neighborhood combines wide beaches with a relaxed atmosphere and supports both weekly summer visitors and extended winter stays. According to Ramey, this dual-season appeal allows Sandbridge rentals to produce more stable year-round income than many other waterfront locations. Investors value the balance of privacy, accessibility, and consistent rental performance that this part of Virginia Beach offers.

Owning coastal property requires more consistent maintenance than inland real estate. The HelloNation article explains how salt air influences siding, decks, railings, and exterior systems such as HVAC units. Even homes several blocks from the water experience some level of exposure. Ramey emphasizes that careful budgeting and scheduled maintenance help reduce long-term costs. Investors who stay proactive in addressing coastal wear maintain stronger returns and greater property longevity.

Flood zones in Virginia Beach also play a central role in investment planning. Properties throughout the region vary in elevation and proximity to tidal areas, creating different risk levels and insurance requirements. Ramey advises investors to review updated flood maps, check for recent drainage improvements, and confirm any necessary flood insurance coverage. A clear understanding of these factors ensures that financial projections accurately reflect ongoing expenses and that investments remain sustainable over time.

Virginia Beach appreciation patterns tend to remain steady and predictable. Ramey notes that properties near the water, in strong school districts, or close to major employers consistently demonstrate gradual long-term growth. Unlike more volatile markets, Virginia Beach real estate benefits from steady demand generated by tourism, the military community, and stable residential neighborhoods. Investors who focus on well-established areas often find that appreciation builds quietly and reliably, even during broader market fluctuations.

Short-term rentals continue to attract interest from investors seeking flexibility and higher seasonal returns. The HelloNation feature explains that these opportunities come with specific considerations, including local regulations and neighborhood rules that may affect rental frequency. Ramey encourages buyers to review city ordinances and homeowners’ association guidelines before purchasing. Investors who select communities already familiar with short-term activity tend to experience smoother operations and fewer regulatory complications.

Long-term rentals remain another cornerstone of the Virginia Beach investment landscape. Military rotations, professional relocations, and family moves sustain consistent rental demand throughout the year. Ramey points out that long-term leases provide predictable income and lower turnover costs compared to short-term rentals. For many investors, this model offers a balanced path toward financial stability, especially in neighborhoods near Oceana and Dam Neck Annex.

The coastal environment also influences design and durability standards for investment properties. Homes that use resilient materials, such as moisture-resistant flooring and reinforced decks, experience fewer maintenance interruptions. Ramey highlights that tenants and vacationers alike appreciate clean layouts, reliable climate systems, and well-kept outdoor spaces. These improvements not only enhance comfort but also protect long-term performance. Properties that combine function with durability consistently earn better reviews and higher occupancy rates.

Marketing and presentation further shape rental success in Virginia Beach. Since many renters discover properties online, listings with bright, clear photography and organized descriptions generate more engagement. Ramey advises investors to highlight outdoor features and coastal proximity, since these elements define much of the city’s lifestyle appeal. Clean, well-maintained properties that reflect the relaxed rhythm of coastal living tend to attract repeat guests and stronger word-of-mouth interest.

Ultimately, investing in Virginia Beach real estate rewards preparation and long-term thinking. Ramey’s perspective, as presented in the HelloNation article, emphasizes that both short-term and long-term strategies can succeed when investors understand the influence of the coastal environment. Properties that are well-maintained, carefully evaluated for flood risk, and located within stable neighborhoods tend to achieve the best results. With realistic expectations and consistent upkeep, Virginia Beach continues to offer investors strong appreciation and dependable rental opportunities along the shoreline.

Investing in Virginia Beach Real Estate: What Buyers Need to Know About Coastal Rentals, Appreciation & Short-Term Opportunities features insights from Robert Ramey, Real Estate Expert of Virginia Beach, VA, in HelloNation.
