Wesco International (NYSE: WCC) raises 2026 outlook after record 2025 sales
Wesco International reported record 2025 results with full-year net sales of $23.5 billion, up 7.8% year over year, and fourth-quarter sales of $6.1 billion, up 10.3%. Growth was driven by strong demand in Communications & Security Solutions and Electrical & Electronic Solutions.
Data center revenue was a key driver, reaching about $4.3 billion in 2025, up roughly 50% and representing about 18% of total sales. Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $1.54 billion with a 6.5% margin, and adjusted diluted EPS rose to $12.91, up 5.6%.
Cash generation weakened as operating cash flow fell to $125 million and free cash flow to $53.8 million, mainly from higher receivables and inventory to support large projects. Year-end backlog increased 19%, and the company guides 2026 reported sales growth of 5–8%, adjusted EPS of $14.50–$16.50, free cash flow of $500–$800 million, and plans to raise its annual dividend over 10% to $2.00 per share.

FAQ
How did Wesco International (WCC) perform financially in 2025?
Wesco delivered record 2025 results with strong top-line growth. Net sales reached $23.5 billion, up 7.8% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA was $1.54 billion and adjusted diluted EPS rose to $12.91, highlighting resilient profitability despite margin pressure.

Profitability grew modestly while margins compressed slightly. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.54 billion with a 6.5% margin, down from 6.9% in 2024, and adjusted diluted EPS increased to $12.91, as higher volume offset lower gross margin and increased operating costs.
What happened to Wesco International's cash flow and leverage in 2025?
Cash flow weakened as working capital needs increased. Operating cash flow dropped to $125 million from $1.10 billion, and free cash flow fell to $53.8 million, mainly due to higher receivables and inventories tied to growth, while the financial leverage ratio rose to 3.4x.
What is Wesco International's outlook for 2026 sales and earnings?
Wesco expects continued growth and better margins in 2026. The company guides reported sales growth of 5–8%, an adjusted EBITDA margin between 6.6–7.0%, adjusted diluted EPS of $14.50–$16.50, and free cash flow in the $500–$800 million range.
Is Wesco International changing its dividend based on these results?

How strong is Wesco International's backlog entering 2026?
