Discount Signals Market Doubt on CDW’s Turnaround
CDW trades at a discount because the market sees margin pressure and weak capital returns, not a turnaround. The company’s 6.7% operating margin is down 70bps year-over-year. For this price, the business needs to deliver more. Only sustained margin recovery from software and services growth could change the story.
