UBS reiterates a 'Buy' on Arrow Electronics (NYSE: ARW) price target cut $1 to $47.

Analyst, Amitabh Passi, said, "Q1 results, along with 2Q guidance, from ARW were slightly disappointing. Much of the 10bps OM shortfall in 1Q vs. UBSe is attributable to mix, with the higher-margin components (GC) segment coming in weaker while the lower-margin computing solutions segment (GECS) did better, along with slightly lower than expected OM in components. We reset our 2Q, 2012, 2013 Revs/EPS ests now to $5.25b/$1.15, $21.1b/$4.77 and $22.5b/$5.26, vs. $5.16b/$1.23, $20.7b/$4.96, and $21.7b/$5.45 previously."
