Further Justification
In a research note, the brokerage stated, "We upgrade FLEX and APH to Buy in part because they screen well on these metrics. We downgrade ARW (given the sub 50 ISM reading plus higher semi/distribution inventory) and MTSI (as MTSI is trading above our price target and customer concentration has increased) to Neutral. Lastly, we upgrade JBL to Neutral on more positive near-term factors, but JBL screens poorly for customer concentration."
Delaney and Sweetnam argued end markets would continue to remain choppy with the Street showing no interest to lift EPS estimates.
