    Arrow Electronics (ARW) Valuation Check After Mixed Short Term Share Performance

    Simply Wall St·03/28/2026 21:11:56
    Listen to the news

    Arrow Electronics (ARW) has been drawing attention after a period of mixed share performance, with a 2.5% decline over the past day and a 9.5% decline over the past month, alongside strong returns over the past 3 months and 1 year.

    See our latest analysis for Arrow Electronics.

    Despite the recent 9.5% 30 day share price decline, Arrow Electronics still carries strong momentum when viewed against its 23.1% 90 day share price return and 34.6% 1 year total shareholder return.

    So, with Arrow Electronics posting a 34.6% 1-year total shareholder return, steady revenue and net income growth, and shares now down 9.5% over 30 days, is this a genuine entry point or is the market already pricing in future growth?

    Most Popular Narrative: 1% Overvalued

    Arrow Electronics last closed at $139.63, slightly above the most followed narrative fair value of $137.50, which is built on detailed long term earnings and margin assumptions.

    Accelerating adoption of cloud, infrastructure software, cybersecurity, and mid-market as-a-service offerings (notably through ArrowSphere) is increasing Arrow's exposure to higher-margin, recurring revenue streams. This is set to support both revenue growth and margin stability in future quarters.

    Read the complete narrative.

    Curious what kind of revenue path and profitability lift need to line up for that fair value to hold? The narrative leans on specific growth rates, firmer margins and a future earnings multiple that may surprise you. The full story is in how those moving parts fit together over the next few years.

    Result: Fair Value of $137.50 (OVERVALUED)

    Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

    However, there is still the risk that OEMs increasingly bypass distributors through digital platforms, and that prolonged destocking or inventory write downs pressure margins and earnings efficiency.

    Another View: Earnings Multiple Sends a Different Signal

    The narrative fair value of $137.50 points to a small 1.5% premium to the current $139.63 share price. However, Arrow trades on a 12.5x P/E versus 29.1x for the US Electronic industry, 17.3x for peers and a fair ratio of 20.9x, which suggests a very different valuation story. Which signal do you think deserves more weight?
