CDW Gears Up to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
CDW Corporation (CDW - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 1.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $5.82 billion, suggesting a decline of 6.3% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $2.59 per share, indicating a decrease of 0.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
CDW’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 3.9%.
CDW’s third-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from solid momentum across NetComm, storage, software, and security. Our estimate for NetComm products is pegged at $828.2 million, showing a year-over-year rise of 14.9%.
The ongoing demand for CDW's hardware and software products, as well as integrated IT solutions, is likely to have acted as a tailwind. Our estimate for software products is pegged at $915.4 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 0.6%.
The government business segment is likely to have benefited from increased expenditure by the federal government on complex services that enable hybrid infrastructure and cloud opportunities. 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.
However, the company’s performance is likely to have been affected due to rising economic uncertainty, which has led to weakening IT spending coupled with elongated sales cycles and smaller deal sizes. Hardware, software and services businesses might be significantly impacted due to the deferral of major hardware projects.
