Structural: largest multi-brand IT VAR in North America with ~$21B revenue base; bridges fragmented mid-market and public-sector buyers to consolidated OEM supply ($DELL $HPE $LNVGY $MSFT $CSCO $NVDA $AAPL). Asset-light: working capital + sales force, no manufacturing.
Recurring tailwind from netted-down software/services (cloud marketplaces, security, managed) which carry higher gross margin than hardware passthrough.

- $NVDA enterprise AI servers and $DELL/$HPE AI rack systems flow through CDW into mid-market accounts that bypass hyperscalers
- Buyback + 1.5% dividend yield; FCF conversion routinely >90% of net income
