Avnet's share price decline is directly tied to its Q3 earnings miss and disappointing Q4 outlook. The lower Electronic Components margin and sales, along with a decrease in sales across all regions, have negatively impacted investor sentiment. The company's acknowledgment of economic softness and lower market demand further justifies the negative outlook. Despite robust cash flow generation, the overall financial performance and future expectations have led to a bearish short-term outlook for AVT shares.
