Despite its notable strength, CDW slipped 38.2% from its 52-week high of $192.30, achieved on May 14, 2025. Over the past three months, CDW stock declined 20.7%, underperforming the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLK) 5.1% losses during the same time frame.

To confirm the bearish trend, CDW has been trading below its 50-day moving average since late July, 2025, with slight fluctuations. The stock is trading below its 200-day moving average over the past year, experiencing minor fluctuations.

On Feb. 4, CDW shares surged 9.5% after reporting its Q4 results. Its adjusted EPS of $2.57 exceeded Wall Street expectations of $2.44. The company’s revenue was $5.5 billion, surpassing Wall Street forecasts of $5.3 billion.

In the competitive arena of information technology services, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) has lagged behind CDW, with a 16% downtick on a YTD basis, but outpaced the stock with a slight decline over the past 52 weeks.
