On July 1, WESCO International fell 5.49% in regular trading, trading at $326.68 per share with turnover of $114 million.
On the news front, the company announced the completion of its previously disclosed $136 million acquisition of Singapore-based Newark Engineering Group, which supplies temperature control systems and lifecycle services for data centers. The deal aims to expand WESCO's data center cooling capabilities and Southeast Asian presence, with plans to cross-sell electrical, communications, and supply chain solutions across Newark's installed base. Shares retreated following the deal closure despite the stock having previously benefited from strong Q1 results that beat EPS estimates by over 21% and raised full-year guidance.
Within the Trading Companies & Distributors sector, the broader group showed weakness. Among individual stocks, QXO Inc fell 0.87%, W.W. Grainger fell 0.56%, MSC Industrial Direct rose 5.39%, United Rentals fell 1.53%, and Sunbelt Rentals fell 2.54%.
