Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
CDW delivered 9% revenue growth driven by AI infrastructure and supply urgency, with non-GAAP EPS of $2.28 up 6.3%. International operations grew 18%, and AI was moving from exploration to production across all customer sizes. However, gross margin compressed 60 basis points from hardware-heavy mix. The Geared for Growth initiative was launched targeting $100-200 million in run-rate savings, and FY2026 guidance was modestly raised.
