Description: PLUS ePlus February 28, 2026
ePlus Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUS) delivers a broad portfolio of IT solutions-including third-party hardware, software (perpetual and subscription), professional services, and financing-to enterprise customers across telecom, media, government, education, healthcare, and financial services. Its offerings span staff augmentation, cloud consulting, AI advisory, digital signage, EV-charging infrastructure, and managed services such as storage-as-a-service and security operations.
In FY 2023 the company generated approximately $2.3 billion in revenue, with subscription-based software and services growing ~12% year-over-year, and reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.55. The balance sheet remains strong, featuring a cash-to-debt ratio of 1.4 and a market capitalization near $600 million, supporting continued investment in high-margin managed services.
Industry trends are favorable: Gartner projects enterprise cloud spending to rise ~6% YoY in 2024, while the resurgence of supply-chain reliability is boosting demand for hardware and EV-charging solutions-two key growth pillars for ePlus. Additionally, the shift toward subscription and managed-service models is driving higher recurring revenue streams across the technology distribution sector.
