Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Information Technology is in expansion. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
CDW's growth in revenue must continue to justify its current price. Revenue grew 9% year over year in the last quarter, which was inline with expectations. It trades at 13 times P/E, while the peer median is 52 times. This suggests the price reflects less growth than expected. If CDW cuts guidance on the next call, it could negatively impact the stock. Peer multiples imply a price about 25% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-07-07. CDW is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
