Company News
PC Connection's shares have declined 2.4% over one day and 6.3% over the past month, though the company maintains a roughly flat year-to-date return and positive multi-year shareholder returns. The stock currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 17.2x. The valuation sits above PC Connection's peer average of 15.1x but below the broader US Electronic industry average of 28.8x and an estimated fair P/E of 19.7x. The company has delivered 6.8% annual profit growth over five years and is expected to continue growing, though earnings fell over the past year. The mixed performance and moderate valuation have drawn attention from investors assessing whether recent share price weakness presents a buying opportunity or reflects market caution about near-term performance.
PC Connection reported fourth-quarter earnings of $0.91 per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.86 per share and exceeding year-ago earnings of $0.78 per share. The earnings surprise stood at 5.81%, marking the third time in four quarters the company beat consensus estimates. However, the information technology services provider posted quarterly revenues of $702.94 million, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.43% and falling short of year-ago revenues of $708.9 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates only once in the past four quarters. PC Connection shares have gained 1.8% year-to-date, outperforming the S&P 500's 1.1% gain. The company currently holds a Zacks Rank #3, indicating shares are expected to perform in line with the market near term.
