ePlus: Not Much Has Changed To Convince Me To Start A Position

Summary ePlus inc. has underperformed the S&P 500 over the past three years, with only 79% returns versus 89%. Recent quarters show flat top-line growth, deteriorating margins, and higher operating expenses, despite a strong cash position and no debt. AI, security, and data center order books offer potential, but revenue mix remains hardware-heavy, limiting margin expansion. I remain neutral on PLUS stock, awaiting evidence of sustained growth and improved profitability before considering a position. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

NSIT: AI Services Momentum And Cloud Profitability Will Test Elevated P E Expectations

Insight Enterprises' analyst fair value estimate is updated from $75.00 to $140.00, as analysts point to higher assumed revenue growth, a slightly lower discount rate, and richer future P/E expectations supported by recent price target increases that cite strong Q2 execution, AI related demand, and improving cloud and services profitability. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research on Insight Enterprises highlights a mix of enthusiasm around AI related demand and services growth alongside some caution on how much of this is already reflected in the stock price.

Ingram Micro Q2: The Cash Flow Dip Creates A Buying Opportunity

Summary Ingram Micro Holding Corporation delivered a fifth consecutive earnings beat, with Q2 net sales up 13.6% YoY and non-GAAP EPS up 34.4%. Despite strong results, INGM shares dropped around 7% post-earnings early this month due to significant negative free cash flow driven by inventory build. Operating leverage is increasingly visible, with adjusted operating income up 40% and ROIC improving to 10.8%, supporting the reiterated Buy case. My DCF-based intrinsic value is $49 per INGM share, implying ~78% upside; I reiterate a Buy rating, emphasizing cash conversion as the key risk. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Arrow Electronics: The Evolution Of A Highly Connected Tech Workbench

Summary Arrow Electronics (ARW) has enjoyed strong growth this year, with AI buying trend across the board giving it a lift in all segments. Free cash flow has been strong in recovery, but within the context of capital expenditures being at historical lows. Gross profit margin has reached its lowest point in company history, signaling operational headwinds and competitive pressures. The market has largely priced in its upside growth with a particularly strong Q4 expectation, with little room to disappoint. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

ScanSource Is Worth Keeping An Eye On

Summary ScanSource (SCSC) delivered a blowout Q4, beating consensus with 17% revenue growth and strong FY27 guidance, yet shares saw only a muted reaction. SCSC trades at 7.2x EV/EBITDA and ≤13x P/FCF on FY27 guidance, a notable discount to peers, with potential upside if growth sustains and multiples re-rate. The MicroAge acquisition could expand addressable markets, add services, and enhance exposure to cloud and AI, but integration and execution risks remain. Despite optimism around new initiatives, SCSC’s historical cyclicality and persistent valuation discount warrant a 'wait and see' approach before increasing exposure.
