Avnet Inc., the 10-K for 2026

Avnet distributes electronic components and provides the design, supply chain and integration services that go with them. It works with component manufacturers in every major segment and serves customers in more than 140 countries, from startups to large equipment makers. It was founded in 1921 and is based in Phoenix, Arizona.

Two operating groups

The business is run as two operating groups, Electronic Components and Farnell, and both work in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Each has its own management team, and regional business units inside each group act mainly as sales and marketing units. The customers include original equipment manufacturers, electronic manufacturing services providers and original design manufacturers.

Electronic Components

This group mainly serves high and medium-volume customers. In fiscal 2026, approximately 83% of its net sales were semiconductor products, approximately 15% interconnect, passive and electromechanical components, and 2% computers and others. It serves markets from industrial to automotive to defense and aerospace. Avnet Design Solutions gives engineers design tools, evaluation kits, reference designs and help with bills of materials. Avnet Supply Chain Solutions provides procurement, warehousing and logistics so that customers can run global supply chains without investing in the assets themselves. Avnet Embedded designs, integrates and assembles embedded systems and displays for industrial, healthcare, medical and telecommunications customers, and the group also builds hardware such as custom servers for software companies.

Farnell

Farnell serves lower-volume customers, engineers and entrepreneurs who need components quickly to develop, prototype and test products, mainly through e-commerce. It sells kits, tools, electronic components, industrial automation components and test and measurement products, and launches suppliers' new products. In fiscal 2026 its net sales were approximately 19% semiconductors, approximately 36% IP&E components, approximately 13% single-board computers and approximately 32% other products, including test and measurement and maintenance, repair and operations products.

Suppliers and competitors

The products of one supplier were over 10% of consolidated sales in fiscal 2026. Most products are bought under franchised distribution agreements, which typically protect Avnet against product obsolescence and price erosion. The filing names Arrow Electronics, Future Electronics, World Peace Group and WT Microelectronics as competitors for Electronic Components, and Mouser Electronics, Digi-Key Electronics and RS Components for Farnell. It describes carrying enough inventory, and the right range, to meet customers' delivery needs as a key competitive factor.

People

At June 27, 2026 the company had approximately 15,040 employees across 48 countries: approximately 4,125 in the Americas, 6,108 in EMEA and 4,807 in Asia. The fiscal year ended on June 27, 2026.

Read moreFree cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Those four are arithmetic on the filed numbers; everything else is as filed. Money is in $ million as the company files it, or in $ billion by the switch above the tables; per share figures and share counts are as they are.
