Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

WCC is a $7.8B business-to-business distribution, logistics services, and supply chain solutions company, which was originally founded in 1922. It mostly offers solutions to the construction, industrial, and OEM markets, as well as network infrastructure, security, and utility services. It pays a small 1.1% yield but it has a nice buyback program in place, sales growth has been strong over the years, but fairly volatile, and margins have expanded nicely. It generates strong cash flows and trades at an attractive valuation of 11.7X forward P/E. We think it looks interesting, but growth prospects over the next couple of years are somewhat muted. The leadership team is strong and given the company's extensive history, we are comfortable with the management team.
