Valuing Avnet stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Avnet's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Avnet's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Avnet shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Avnet's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.5263. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Avnet's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Avnet's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $908.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Avnet's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Avnet is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 7.15/100
Avnet's environmental score of 7.15 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Avnet is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Dividend payout ratio: 27.16% of net profits
Recently Avnet has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Avnet shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Avnet's case, that would currently equate to about $1.26 per share.
While Avnet's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Avnet may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Avnet's most recent dividend payout was on 24 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Avnet's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 28 September 2000 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Avnet shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Avnet shares which in turn could have impacted Avnet's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Avnet's shares have ranged in value from as little as $42.7995 up to $59.24. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Avnet's is 1.174. This would suggest that Avnet's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
