AI Analysis

I look for durable businesses bought at sensible prices. Insight Enterprises is a technology distributor and services provider. At the close on 2026-10-13, it sold for $175.87, with FairStock calculations showing a P/E of 26.05 and P/B of 3.23. The filed record gives me pause: fiscal 2025 revenue was $8.2B, net income $157.3M, and diluted EPS $4.86, down sharply from fiscal 2024 revenue $8.7B, net income $249.7M, and diluted EPS $6.55, and fiscal 2023 revenue $9.2B, net income $281.3M, and diluted EPS $7.55. That is not the earnings trajectory of a compounding machine. Revenue growth was -1.18%, and FairStock's Lynch category is SLOW GROWER — Shrinking, with profit -1.8% a year over five years and revenue -0.2%. The latest quarter was better: in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $2.4B, net income $77.6M, and diluted EPS $2.57, versus fiscal Q2 2025 net income $46.9M and diluted EPS $1.46. But one quarter does not make a trend. Returns are modest: FairStock shows ROE 13.11% and ROCE 3.20%. The distribution business has thin margins, and a ROCE of 3.20% suggests little durable moat. Debt-to-equity is 1.09, Altman Z-Score 0.89, Piotroski 5/9; this is not a fortress balance sheet. Free cash flow is a bright spot at $396.6M, a 7.7% FCF yield. Still, the Graham Number of $90.88 and -93.52% margin of safety say the price is far above conservative value. I see a fair-to-weak business selling at a premium.
In plain English: Insight Enterprises sells computers, software, and technology services to businesses. Sales have been slipping over the past few years, though the latest quarter showed stronger profit than a year earlier. At $175.87, the stock looks expensive compared with the company's profits and net assets, so it does not look like a bargain by old-school value rules.
