On August 5, CDW Corp fell 24.2% in regular trading, trading at $121.24/share, with turnover of $80.14 million. The sharp decline came despite the company reporting Q2 results that beat consensus estimates on both top and bottom lines.
CDW posted adjusted EPS of $2.91, surpassing the $2.80 consensus by 3.93% and representing an 11.92% year-over-year increase. Revenue came in at $6.572 billion versus the $6.206 billion estimate. However, the revenue mix deteriorated significantly as growth was driven by lower-margin hardware products including data storage, servers, and mobile devices. Gross margin contracted from 20.8% to 20.1% year-over-year, while SG&A expenses rose 8.6%, compressing GAAP operating margin from 7.0% to 6.5%. Net income grew just 1.2% despite 10% revenue growth, signaling diminishing profitability leverage.
