Quality

55

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 55 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Middle

47

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 47 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as middle. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Favorable

69

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 69 of 100, recorded as favorable. Stored records show 13 consecutive years of dividend payments. Share count has been reduced at about 2.1% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

CDW Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company," "CDW", "we", "us", or "our"), a Fortune 500 company and member of the S&P 500 Index, is a leading multi-brand provider of information technology ("IT") solutions to business, government, education, and healthcare customers in the United States ("US"), the United Kingdom ("UK"), and Canada. Our broad array of offerings ranges from discrete hardware and software products to integrated IT solutions and services that include on-premise and cloud capabilities across hybrid infrastructure, digital experience, and security.

We are vendor, technology, and consumption model unbiased, offering a broad selection of products and multi-branded IT solutions. Our solutions are delivered in physical, virtual, and cloud-based environments through approximately 10,500 customer-facing coworkers, including sellers, highly-skilled specialists, and engineers. We are a leading sales channel partner for many original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), software publishers, and cloud providers (collectively, our "vendor partners") and wholesale distributors, whose products we sell or include in the solutions we offer. We provide our vendor partners with a cost-effective way to reach customers and deliver a consistent brand experience through our established end-market coverage, technical expertise, and extensive customer access.

We simplify the complexities of technology solutions across design, selection, procurement, integration, and management for our customers. Our goal is to have our customers, regardless of their size, view us as a trusted adviser and extension of their IT workforce. Our multi-brand offering approach across our vendor partners enables us to provide the solutions and services that best address each customer’s specific requirements to enable their desired business outcomes.

We have capabilities to provide integrated IT solutions in approximately 150 countries for customers with primary locations in the US, UK, and Canada, which are large and growing markets. These are highly fragmented markets served by thousands of IT resellers and solutions providers. We believe that demand for IT will outpace general economic growth in the markets we serve, fueled by new technologies, including hybrid and cloud computing and artificial intelligence ("AI"), as well as growing end-user demand for security, efficiency, and productivity.
