Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will be the reported EPS for Q4-2026?

Given Avnet's strong history of EPS surprises, this figure will be critical in determining market sentiment and stock movement.

How is Avnet managing its gross margins amid rising costs?

Investors will closely watch for any commentary on cost management and pricing strategies, as these will impact profitability.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating Avnet's ability to navigate supply chain challenges and capitalize on emerging technology trends, which could lead to stronger-than-expected results.

Supporting Evidence

Avnet has consistently beaten EPS estimates in the past, indicating strong operational capabilities.

The options market is pricing a larger move than historical averages, suggesting heightened expectations.

Recent trends in technology demand may not be fully reflected in current consensus estimates.

Key Risk

If gross margins show unexpected strength, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.

Edge

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $1.50 or higher would confirm strong operational performance and support the bull case.
