Here's What You Should Know Ahead of CDW's Q4 Earnings Release

CDW Corporation CDW is slated to report fourth-quarter 2022 results on Feb 8.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $6.15 billion, suggesting growth of 11.1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $2.45 per share, indicating an increase of 17.8% from $2.08 recorded in the year-ago quarter.

CDW’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 6.6%.

Factors to Note

The ongoing demand for CDW's hardware and software products, as well as integrated IT solutions, including mobility, security, data center optimization, virtualization and cloud computing, is likely to have helped the company's fourth-quarter performance.

The company is expected to gain as corporations spend more on security and cloud migration as more people are shifting to remote jobs or a hybrid work environment. In the last reported quarter, CDW noted that both professional and managed services posted double-digit growth. The company’s widespread footprint, which includes its presence in the United States, U.K. and Canada, is likely to have acted as a tailwind.

CDW is also working to improve its capabilities to attract new customers. The fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from increasing Healthcare and Government customers and increased revenues from federal customers.

CDW's approach of encouraging organic growth and pursuing buyouts is likely to have raised the company's profile. Buyouts like Amplified IT and Focal Point Data Risk have helped to improve its educational and security capabilities, respectively.

Global macroeconomic weakness, forex volatility, global supply-chain glitches and component shortages might have dented the to-be-reported quarter’s performance. Rising inflation is likely to have led to increasing expenses, which is expected to weigh on the company’s profitability.
