Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ARW

10/28/2026: ARW (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Arrow Electronics is a mature, global provider of electronic components and enterprise IT solutions, functioning as a critical link in the technology supply chain. The company benefits from a massive distribution network and deep technical expertise, which helps maintain its market position despite low profit margins. Its primary investment story revolves around capitalizing on industrial automation and data center infrastructure demand. However, investors face risks related to cyclical demand in the semiconductor industry and exposure to broader macroeconomic volatility. The stock is generally best suited for value-oriented investors who can tolerate cyclicality and are less dependent on consistent dividend income.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ARW receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ARW has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+45.7%) and solid revenue growth (+10.5%) are partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -0.1%), soft profitability (net margin 1.9%), very low insider ownership of 0.59%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ARW's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 23.4%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is ARW's strongest growth driver at +45.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+10.5%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-103.6%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 105.3% and approximately 99.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.59%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 9.85%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 5.98%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.88%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.56%
AQR Capital Management LLC 4.29%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ARW generates approximately $112 of gross profit, $30 of operating income, and $-1 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Negative free cash flow explains the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 20.65%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ARW has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
