  • 👑 Top holders include: Vanguard, BlackRock, DFA, Boston Partners, and LSV.

💸 Valuation: Is This Cheap Tech?

Arrow’s trading like it’s in the clearance aisle:

Metric Value
Trailing P/E 12.96
Price/Sales 0.21
Price/Book 0.93
EV/Revenue 0.30
EV/EBITDA 8.75

⚖️ Risks: Not Every Arrow Hits the Bullseye 🎯

  1. 🏋️♂️ Can it grow consistently? One good quarter doesn't make a trend.

  2. 🌍 Competition’s fierce, both in components and cloud.

  3. 🌧️ Macro jitters: Recession? Geopolitical noise? Market volatility? All could slam the brakes.

🏹 Final Shot: Worth a Quiver?

Arrow might not be the flashiest tech stock, but…

  • ✅ CEO just bet $1M

  • ✅ Institutions are all in

  • ✅ Q2 showed real momentum

  • ✅ Valuation’s looking tasty

But if you’re expecting explosive growth, this arrow might fly straight—not necessarily fast. And still... sometimes slow and steady wins the bullseye. 🎯


🧪 Verdict:

This Arrow may need a bow...
But it just might deliver a compound return if the CEO's aim is true. 🎯
