Description: CDW CDW October 16, 2025
CDW Corp (NASDAQ: CDW) is a multi-national IT solutions provider operating in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. The firm is organized into three customer-focused segments-Corporate, Small Business, and Public-and sells a mix of discrete hardware, software licences, and integrated solutions that span on-premise, hybrid, and cloud environments, with particular emphasis on digital experience, infrastructure, and security services.
In FY 2023 CDW reported revenue of roughly $20.2 billion, up about 5 % year-over-year, and an operating margin near 5.2 %, reflecting steady demand from enterprise digital-transformation budgets. Growth is being driven by three macro-level forces: (1) accelerated cloud adoption across its corporate and public customers, (2) rising enterprise spending on cybersecurity amid heightened threat activity, and (3) a gradual easing of global supply-chain constraints that had previously limited hardware inventory. The technology-distribution sector as a whole is benefiting from a 3-4 % annual increase in total IT spend, according to IDC, which supports CDW’s hybrid-infrastructure roadmap.
