The electronics and computer products distributor now expects net income in a range of 76 cents to 80 cents per share, which excludes any charges but includes an estimate for amortization of intangible assets between 2 cents and 3 cents.
Arrow previously predicted earnings in a range of 74 cents to 80 cents per share.
