UBS Group AG and Norges Bank have increased their stakes in CDW Corporation. Despite some recent underperformance compared to competitors, CDW remains of interest for growth investors and has achieved notable trading day performance. However, it has not met EPS forecasts, prompting some analysts to revise their predictions. CDW's transition towards software and services has driven margin expansion, and their resilience during economic headwinds is pointed out. The company failed to meet sales targets, faced declining key segments, and Q1 2024 earnings fell short of expectations. Furthermore, a weaker Q1 2024 performance led to a decrease in revenues. Despite the headwinds, CDW has maintained its focus on value-added IT reseller activities. CDW also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.62 and authorized a $750 million share repurchase increase. Cybersecurity has been amplified as CDW recently faced LockBit ransomware allegations of data theft. Furthermore, CDW has bet on data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) as demonstrated by the CEO's statements and has achieved advancements in AI adoption. However, CDW’s Q1 earnings snapshot revealed a dip in sales, attributed to challenging market conditions.
