CDW Corporation stock (ISIN US1258961002) was trading at EUR 55.11 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 11:44 a.m. CEST, up 0.11 percent versus the prior close of EUR 55.05. The latest company catalyst is the completed acquisition of Lovelytics, a data and artificial intelligence services firm, which broadens CDW's services offering.
Lovelytics adds AI capabilities
As Investing.com reported on September 25, 2026, CDW completed the purchase of Lovelytics, whose team works across data strategy, architecture and AI deployment. The transaction strengthens CDW's Data and Analytics Practice and gives customers access to technology services across the lifecycle.
The deal arrives as customer demand shifts from AI experimentation toward implementation. CDW's second-quarter call described infrastructure, cloud, security and data foundations as the main areas of customer engagement, giving the acquisition a direct link to the company's current growth strategy.
Revenue beat meets margin pressure
According to Fortune in the August 5, 2026 earnings call transcript, second-quarter net sales rose 10 percent year over year to USD 6.6 billion, while non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 12 percent to USD 2.91. The same quarter produced non-GAAP operating income of USD 556 million, up 7 percent.
The comparison is favorable on growth but more mixed on profitability. Gross margin fell to 20.1 percent from 20.8 percent as infrastructure products and larger enterprise orders changed the sales mix, while operating leverage improved and supported the adjusted EPS increase.
Debt now sits beside growth
CDW also completed a USD 1.5 billion senior-notes offering on September 21, 2026, comprising USD 600 million due 2029, USD 500 million due 2032 and USD 400 million due 2033, according to StockTitan. The financing expands the debt structure as CDW invests in AI capabilities and manages working capital for hardware demand.
Analyst expectations remain constructive but less uniform. MarketBeat reported on September 28, 2026, that nine brokerages carried a Moderate Buy consensus and an average 12-month target of USD 150.12. Barclays lowered its target from USD 150.00 to USD 148.00 on September 21, 2026, while maintaining Equal Weight.
