Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Arrow Electronics, Inc. is a global provider of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions, operating at the center of the technology supply chain. The company serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), contract manufacturers, and commercial and industrial customers across multiple industries, including industrial, automotive, aerospace and defense, telecommunications, healthcare, and consumer electronics. Arrow’s core role is to aggregate demand, manage complexity, and enable customers to design, source, and deploy technology efficiently at scale.
Founded in 1935, Arrow began as a small electronics parts distributor and evolved through decades of organic growth and acquisitions into one of the world’s largest technology distributors. The company’s unique positioning lies in its combination of broad-line component distribution, deep engineering support, and enterprise IT solutions, allowing it to participate early in product design cycles and maintain long-term customer relationships.
Business Operations
Arrow operates through two primary business segments: Global Components and Global Enterprise Computing Solutions (ECS). The Global Components segment distributes semiconductors, passive and electromechanical components, connectors, and embedded solutions from leading manufacturers, generating revenue primarily through volume-based distribution and value-added engineering services. The Global ECS segment provides data center, cloud, and software solutions, including infrastructure, security, and analytics, primarily to commercial and public-sector customers.
The company maintains extensive domestic and international operations, supported by logistics centers, design engineering resources, and digital platforms. Arrow controls significant supply-chain infrastructure and offers value-added services such as demand creation, design-in support, and supply-chain management. Key subsidiaries include Arrow Global Components, Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, and eInfochips, which expands Arrow’s engineering and design services capabilities.
Strategic Position & Investments
Arrow’s strategic direction focuses on enabling innovation in high-growth technology markets while improving operational efficiency and capital discipline. Growth initiatives emphasize embedded computing, intelligent systems, cloud-based infrastructure, and software-defined solutions, aligning the company with long-term trends such as automation, electrification, artificial intelligence at the edge, and data-driven enterprise operations.
The company has pursued targeted acquisitions and investments to strengthen its technical expertise and service offerings, most notably the acquisition of eInfochips, which enhanced Arrow’s product design, software, and system engineering capabilities. Arrow continues to invest in digital platforms, engineering talent, and supplier relationships to maintain its role as a strategic partner rather than a transactional distributor. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding material equity investments outside wholly owned subsidiaries.
Geographic Footprint
Arrow Electronics operates globally with headquarters in the United States, specifically Colorado, and maintains a significant presence across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. The company supports customers in more than 80 countries through regional sales offices, distribution centers, and engineering resources.
International operations represent a substantial portion of Arrow’s revenue, with Europe and Asia serving as critical markets for both component distribution and enterprise computing solutions. Arrow’s global footprint allows it to support multinational customers, manage regional supply-chain risks, and leverage scale across diverse end markets.
Leadership & Governance
Arrow is led by an experienced executive team focused on disciplined capital allocation, operational excellence, and long-term value creation. Leadership emphasizes a customer-centric approach, deep supplier partnerships, and investment in technical capabilities to support complex technology ecosystems.
