CDW: Software And Services Mix Will Support Earnings Quality Despite Near-Term Headwinds

Analysts have trimmed their CDW price targets to about $170 from $200, citing softer than expected recent revenue, slightly lower implied Q4 revenue guidance, and an uncertain spending backdrop, partly offset by the potential long term benefit of a greater mix of higher margin software and services. Analyst Commentary Analysts are processing the lower price targets through the lens of near term execution risks versus longer term mix and margin potential.
