Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AVT

09/25/2026: AVT (5-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 6 days. Simulated Profits (7.24%). Updated daily EoD!

Avnet Inc is a long-standing, global distributor of electronic components and embedded solutions that serves as a critical link in the technology supply chain. The company's primary strength lies in its extensive logistics network and established technical design-in services for major manufacturers. While Avnet presents a stable income profile for dividend-seeking investors, its performance remains subject to the cyclical nature of semiconductor demand and industrial manufacturing trends. Risks include potential disintermediation by major suppliers and margin pressures typical of high-volume distribution. Investors should monitor the company's progress in expanding its higher-margin embedded services as it navigates market volatility, keeping in mind the stock's role as a cyclical participant in the tech sector.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AVT receives a 3-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AVT has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+39.2%) and solid revenue growth (+24.5%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -1.3%), soft profitability (net margin 1.2%), modest insider ownership of 1.38%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AVT's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 37.8%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is AVT's strongest growth driver at +39.2% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+24.5%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-161.4%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 110.6% and approximately 99.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.38% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 7.69%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 7.12%
Pzena Investment Management, LLC 6.94%
AQR Capital Management LLC 4.69%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AVT generates approximately $104 of gross profit, $31 of operating income, and $-13 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 28.46%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AVT has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
