CDW Corp
Next earnings Aug 4, 2026 (before open) · consensus $2.82 EPS, $6.26B rev
Last earnings -20.3% on 2026-05-06
High-quality IT solutions reseller back to growth (+6.8%), 40.9% ROE, buying back stock — and reasonably priced at 15.9x EPS.
Revenue $22.4B · FY2025
The fundamentals carry the rating, but the price is rich (~19% above our fair-value estimate) — a quality-at-a-price call. The case rests on the business, not the entry; patient buyers may wait for a pullback.
CDW is a capital-light, cash-generative IT solutions distributor that has returned to growth: FY2025 revenue rose 6.8% to $22.4B after two soft years, while net income held essentially flat at $1.07B (EPS $8.08). The model's quality shows in a 40.9% return on equity and consistent ~$1.1B annual earnings since FY2021, generated on minimal capex ($117M) — this is a working-capital business, not a capital-intensive one. Gross margin of 21.7% on a reseller is healthy and reflects the shift toward higher-value services and solutions.
Capital allocation is disciplined and shareholder-friendly. CDW repurchased $653M of stock (+30.6%), cutting shares 2.6%, paid $329M in dividends, raised its quarterly dividend to $0.630, and the board added $750M to the buyback authorization with $684.6M remaining at year-end. Long-term debt fell 17.6% to $4.62B as $1.01B moved to current maturities; the high 2.30x liabilities/equity and negative retained earnings (-$1.27B) are artifacts of years of buybacks reducing book equity, not operational stress — operating cash flow remains strong at $1.21B.
