COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Avnet, Inc. (Avnet or “the company”) is one of the world’s largest distributors of electronic components,computer products and embedded technology. Avnet has established diversity across its operationsthrough varied offerings which provide a diversified revenue base and mitigate the risk of downturnpertaining to any single offering. However, intense competition in the market may erode the company'smarket share and profitability.

 

ECONOMIC MOAT

We believe Avnet’s moat is due to its expertise and broad offering that create intangible assets and a cost advantage over other smaller value-added distributors or large broadline distributors.  Avnet’s primary competitor is Arrow Electronics, and together the two firms have captured about 60% of the market.

 

OUTLOOK

Modest revenue growth, incrementally improved margins, and share repurchases should enable mid- to high-single digit bottom-line gains in the following year.
