Wesco International reports record Q3 2026 results and lifts full‑year outlook
Wesco International announced third‑quarter 2026 net sales of $7.2 billion, up 17% year‑over‑year, with data‑center revenue rising about 55% YoY. Diluted EPS was $5.43 and adjusted EPS $5.77, both record levels, while operating margin improved to 6.2%. The company said backlog grew roughly 80% YoY and raised its 2026 guidance to $26.8‑$27.0 billion in sales and $18.00‑$18.50 in adjusted EPS.
Why it matters
The company expects 2026 sales and adjusted EPS to exceed prior guidance, which will lift analyst forecasts and could support a higher valuation for WCC (the company said it is raising its outlook). The higher backlog also suggests continued revenue visibility into 2027.
