Wesco International WCC Q3 2026 earnings

“We are very pleased with our record third quarter results and carry positive business momentum into the fourth quarter. Once again, sales, backlog, operating profit, and earnings per share all increased double digits versus the prior year and achieved records that exceeded our expectations. We are particularly pleased with our free cash flow generation during the quarter which was strong given the sales growth we delivered. The past five consecutive quarters of double-digit sales growth demonstrate Wesco's higher growth profile which extends well beyond our important data center positioning. Customer demand is strong across the rest of our diversified portfolio and end markets, with sales up high single-digits excluding data centers. Our customers continue to invest in major capital and infrastructure projects and increasingly rely on Wesco to manage their needs as we add more services to our portfolio and demonstrate the continued effectiveness of our One Wesco cross-selling strategy. Especially noteworthy, our backlog was up over 80%, to a new record level for each of our three business units”
