CDW
Bear Case

The company's revenue was down 3.6% compared to the previous year, indicating a potential slowdown in growth. This decline in revenue could impact future earnings and stock performance.
CDW Co.'s debt-to-equity ratio of 2.03 is relatively high, which may raise concerns about the company's financial leverage and ability to manage debt obligations effectively.
While the dividend payout ratio is currently at 30.96%, indicating a sustainable dividend policy, investors should monitor any changes in the ratio to ensure the company maintains its dividend payments in the long term.
