Arrow Electronics Reports 31.8% Revenue Growth to $9.99 Billion in Latest Quarter

Arrow Electronics, Inc. reported significant financial growth in its latest 10-Q filing for the quarter ending July 4, 2026. The company achieved consolidated sales of $9.99 billion, a 31.8% increase from $7.58 billion in the same quarter of the previous year. For the first six months of 2026, sales reached $19.47 billion, up 35.2% from $14.39 billion in the first half of 2025. The gross profit for the quarter was $1.13 billion, reflecting a gross profit margin of 11.3%, compared to $848.66 million and a margin of 11.2% in the prior year. Net income attributable to shareholders was $272.71 million, or $5.26 per diluted share, marking a 45.3% increase from $187.75 million, or $3.59 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year.

The company’s performance was bolstered by strong demand across its Global Components and Global ECS segments, with sales in Global Components rising 39.4% to $7.37 billion and Global ECS sales increasing 14.4% to $2.63 billion. The growth in Global Components was particularly driven by increased demand related to artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, which has led to inventory constraints and price inflation. In contrast, the Global ECS segment faced challenges due to lower profit margins on certain multi-year non-cancellable purchase obligations, which the company is actively working to optimize.

Arrow Electronics also reported operational changes, including a restructuring initiative aimed at reducing operating expenses by approximately $90 million to $100 million by the end of fiscal 2026. The company incurred restructuring charges of $24.14 million in the second quarter, up from $21.92 million in the same period last year. Additionally, Arrow has initiated a new share repurchase program, allowing for the repurchase of up to $1 billion in shares, with approximately $957 million remaining available under this program as of the end of the reporting period.

In terms of operational metrics, Arrow Electronics reported a significant increase in accounts receivable, which rose to $28.01 billion from $19.74 billion at the end of 2025, reflecting the company's growth in sales. The company’s total assets increased to $38.38 billion, up from $29.08 billion at the end of the previous fiscal year. Arrow's cash and cash equivalents decreased to $244.63 million from $306.47 million, while total liabilities also increased, primarily due to higher accounts payable, which rose to $27.11 billion from $17.38 billion.

Looking ahead, Arrow Electronics anticipates continued demand growth, particularly in AI-related sectors, although it acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding geopolitical and economic conditions that could impact future performance. The company remains focused on optimizing its operations and managing costs while navigating the complexities of its multi-year purchase obligations in the Global ECS segment.
