Shares in Electrocomponents are currently 22% below their peak in May and 9% below the price when its smaller rival Premier Farnell came out with a shock profit warning a week into July. This suggests either that both companies, distributors of a huge range of electronics products, are running into the same problems of slowing markets and possibly looking at a double-dip recession, or that this is a buying opportunity for Electro. The shares are now on 11 times this year’s earnings and have the support of a 5 per cent-plus yield. Attractive, in the longer term, though sentiment may require some time to shift, says the Times.
