Avnet, Inc. (AVT): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol AVT · Technology · Technology Distributors · United States · Blend
Is AVT undervalued?
AVT closed at 85.68 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 84.75 - 1.1% above fair value, which our scans read as "fairly priced". 2 of 7 models are above the current price. There is no discount to lean on here, so the margin of safety is not the reason to look at the stock.
There is a wide gap between GLS Growth (15.84) and Graham Number (186.19). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.
Ranked against every other company we cover, neither cheapness nor growth clearly wins for AVT, so the nightly engine files it under Blend (value score 64, growth score 45, out of 100).
Nine valuation models for AVT
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 44.70 | -48% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 186.19 | +117% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 184.27 | +115% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 65.05 | -24% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 15.84 | -82% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
Avnet, Inc. scores only 4 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 4.1/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 3.9%, ROE 6.7%, ROA 2.2% - with debt at 0.69 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is 1.66% at a payout ratio of 21%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold. Revenue comes mainly from Electronic Components 94%, Farnell 6% (quarter Q4 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 3/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded insider buy was on 23 Sep 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | 3.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 4.1 / 10 | ROE | 6.7% |
| Debt / equity | 0.69 | ROA | 2.2% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -14.9% | Payout ratio | 21% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 3 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 34: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 34 Avnet, Inc. sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 3, below fair value - trades 1% above our fair value; and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 4/9 (under 6); and filter 5, can repay its debt - debt with no positive cash flow to repay it; Value (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 49% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% sweet spot the Wheel Score rewards most: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 3,806 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 3.1M shares a day on a market cap of $7.0B, with a beta of 1.12; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that good.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded a day |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Fails | trades 1% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 4/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Fails | debt with no positive cash flow to repay it |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 1% above fair value | |
| Premium | Strong | implied volatility 49% | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 4.1/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 4/9 | |
