(AVT). Avnet Inc. is one of the world&#8217;s largest industrial distributors of electronic components and computer products. The company is a vital link in the chain that connects suppliers of semiconductors, interconnect products, passive and electromechanical devices to original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers that design and build the electronic equipment for end-market use, and to other industrial customers. The company markets, distributes and optimizes the supply-chain and provides design-chain services for the products of the world&#8217;s leading electronic component suppliers, enterprise computer manufacturers and embedded subsystem providers. Avnet brings a breadth and depth of capabilities, such as maximizing inventory efficiency, managing logistics, assembling products and providing engineering design assistance for its customers, accelerating their growth through cost-effective, value-added services and solutions.<\/p>\n<p>This stock has been on a tear of late, hitting a 52-week high recently thanks to very strong Q4 earnings and a strong guidance statment from management. AVNET has posted impressive gains all year, and has appreciated @20% vs a growth rate of only @1.5% for its industry.<\/p>\n<p>ValuEngine updated its recommendation from HOLD to BUY for AVNET on 2018-08-21. Based on the information we have gathered and our resulting research, we feel that AVNET has the probability to OUTPERFORM average market performance for the next year. The company exhibits ATTRACTIVE Price Sales Ratio and Company Size.<\/p>\n<p>You can download a free copy of detailed report on Avnet Inc.
