Wesco International Financial Overview 2021–2025

Updated Nov 5, 2026

Wesco's operating cash flow collapsed to $125.0 milliona in FY2025 from $1,101.2 million a year earlier, even as sales hit a record $23.5 billion. That gap is the story. Growth is real, driven by data centers, but it is eating cash and margin, and leverage rose to 3.4x from 2.9x.

The long arc shows scale without a matching earnings lift. Net sales grew from $18.2 billion in FY2021 to $23.5 billionb in FY2025, yet diluted EPS slid from a peak of $15.33 in FY2022 to $13.05 in FY2025. The Communications & Security Solutions segment rose 18.3% to $9.1 billion in FY2025, while Utility & Broadband Solutions fell 4.9% to $5.5 billion. Cost of goods sold climbed to 78.9% of sales from 78.4%, which management tied to large, lower-margin data center projects. Receivables rose $507.3 million and inventories $428.1 million to fund that growth.

The market priced in the squeeze. At the close of FY2025, the stock traded at $244.64c, or 18.7x earnings of $13.05. Capital returns continued: the $800 million 6.375% notes funded the Series A Preferred redemption, and about $413.9 million of the $1 billion buyback authorization remained. Liquidity of roughly $1.6 billion and no significant debt maturities until 2028 give Wesco room. The open question is whether the rising backlog converts to cash.

Recent Developments (Q2 and Q3 2026)

Wesco accelerated through the middle of 2026. Net sales reached $7,226.4 milliond in Q3 2026, up 16.6%, after $6,665.1 million in Q2 2026. Data center sales grew from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion in one quarter. Backlog rose about 80% year over year by Q3 2026. Adjusted EBITDA grew 32.7% to $561.5 million, and diluted EPS reached $5.43 against $3.79. Operating cash flow turned positive at $193.9 million in Q3 2026, after a weak Q2 2026 of $53.7 million. Leverage fell to 2.8x. Management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $18.00–$18.50. Wesco refinanced its 2028 notes, extended its credit facilities to 2029 and 2031, and bought Newark Engineering Group for $127.7 million. CFO David Schulz retired in May 2026.

Bull case: record backlog, rising margins and better cash conversion support the guidance. Bear case: at 28.1x trailing earnings of $13.05e as of October 28, 2026, the stock leaves little room for error, and the Q2 2026 free cash flow outlook cut shows how fast working capital can absorb gains.

What to watch: conversion of backlog into free cash flow; margin on large data center projects
