What are Wall Street analysts saying about Avnet stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Avnet stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Avnet is benefiting from strength in vertical markets such as industrial, defense, aerospace and healthcare. Continued efforts on transformation and acceleration of the Electronic Components business are key drivers. The buyout of Softweb Solutions is likely to enhance its IoT capabilities. Shares outperformed the industry in the past year. Estimates have been stable lately ahead of the company’s fiscal Q4 earnings release. In the recent quarters, it pulled off positive earnings surprises. However, Avnet’s domestic and foreign operations are subject to significant competition. Though the sale of the Technology Solution division has allowed it to focus on high growth areas, it will take considerable time to reflect in the company’s bottom line. Moreover, Avnet draws considerable revenues from outside the United States, making it susceptible to impacts from currency fluctuations." (4/12/2019)
