Is Avnet, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVT) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Avnet, Inc. at current levels.
The boring components distributor sitting at the centre of every AI server, EV and defence build is finally getting paid for it.
Where AVT is headed
Avnet has spent decades being the unsexy middleman between chip designers and the people who actually build things. That role just got interesting. Revenue grew 33.9% over the trailing year, a number you do not see from a 105-year-old distributor unless something underneath is shifting. AI server build-outs need exotic passives and interconnects in volumes nobody forecast. EV platforms from legacy automakers are finally hitting production scale, and each one carries roughly 3x the semiconductor content of an internal combustion vehicle. Defence primes are restocking after Ukraine drained Western inventories. Avnet sits in the middle of all three flows.
