Description: CLMB Climb Global Solutions October 24, 2025
Climb Global Solutions (NASDAQ: CLMB) is a value-added IT distribution and solutions firm operating in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom. It runs two primary segments: Distribution, which sells technical software through its Climb Channel Solutions brand to corporate resellers, consultants and systems integrators; and Solutions, which offers cloud-based services and resells software, hardware and professional services under the Grey Matter brand. The company’s catalog spans virtualization, security, networking, storage, infrastructure management and application-lifecycle tools, and it reaches customers via its websites, webinars, seminars, events, social media, direct email and printed collateral. Climb, formerly Wayside Technology Group, rebranded in October 2022 and traces its corporate history back to its 1982 incorporation in Eatontown, New Jersey.
Key industry context that may affect CLMB’s outlook includes: (1) the global IT distribution market is projected to grow at a 5-6 % CAGR through 2027, driven by accelerated cloud adoption and the need for hybrid-infrastructure solutions; (2) U.S. enterprise cloud-services spending is expected to rise ~15 % YoY in 2024, which should buoy demand for the Grey Matter cloud-solution line; and (3) CLMB reported FY 2023 revenue of roughly $118 million, up about 8 % YoY, with gross margins hovering near 22 %, reflecting the higher-margin nature of software and cloud services versus traditional hardware resale. These metrics suggest the company is positioned to benefit from both the steady-state hardware distribution cycle and the faster-growing cloud-services tail.
