WCC

Arrow Electronics (ARW) shares rose 4.5% to $242.01 on strong volume, driven by broad-based customer demand, robust backlog, and improving book-to-bill trends. The company is expected to report quarterly earnings of $4.98 per share (+106.6% YoY) and revenues of $9.92 billion (+28.7% YoY).

However, unchanged earnings estimate revisions over the past 30 days suggest caution about sustained momentum. ARW holds a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), while peer Wesco International (WCC) also gained 2.8%.

Recent economic data shows PCE inflation came in softer than expected while Q2 GDP exceeded expectations. Market attention is now focused on the upcoming Friday employment report, which could significantly impact economic outlook and investment decisions.
