Research Alert: Avt Beats Q3; Expansion Challenges Structural Concerns

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:AVT delivered a strong Q3 beat with revenue of $7.12B (+34% Y/Y, +13% Q/Q) vs. $6.4B consensus and adjusted EPS of $1.48 (+76% Y/Y, +41% Q/Q) vs. $1.32 consensus. Operating margins expanded to 2.9% (+58bps Q/Q) with Electronic Components achieving 3.5% margins, demonstrating quality operating leverage as sequential operating income grew more than twice as fast as sales. Broad-based strength across all regions Asia +39%, EMEA +31%, Americas +27% suggests a genuine demand recovery beyond AI infrastructure into traditional electronics markets. Q4 guidance of $7.30B-$7.60B sales (midpoint $7.45B) and adjusted EPS of $1.70-$1.80 significantly exceeded consensus of $6.5B revenue and $1.41 EPS. Inventory optimization reached management's target with total days declining to 77 days, enabling $800M sales growth with only $54M operating cash flow usage. We believe the inventory destocking cycle has conclusively ended and AVT is well-positioned to capitalize on the electronics market recovery with sustained momentum.

Research Alert: Bip Q1: Data Segment Growth Of 46% Powers 10% Ffo Growth

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Brookfield Infrastructure generated FFO per unit of $0.90, up 10% from $0.82 in the prior year, with total FFO reaching $709M versus $646M, driven by organic growth and $1.4B of new investments. The partnership reported a net loss of $61M compared to net income of $125M in Q1 2025, primarily due to unrealized hedge losses from elevated commodity prices. We view the quarter positively, with FFO growing 10% driven by Data's outsized 46% FFO increase to $149M from the U.S. bulk fiber acquisition and 200 MW of commissioned data center capacity. Management expects hedge losses to settle throughout the year. The partnership secured $400M of new investment opportunities and completed $1B in capital recycling proceeds year-to-date, maintaining $5.3B liquidity with only 5% of debt maturing over 12 months. We expect the 6% distribution increase to $0.455 per unit to be covered by executing partnerships with mega-theme oriented names like Bloom using recycled capital.
