Thread regarding CDW layoffs

CDW earnings miss= big layoff and huge meme stock opportunity!

Good news! The stock isn't dropping today...

$138 today! How low can we go

“ Remember no matter how low the stock goes, we must keep our thick layer of middle managers because much like when constructing a high rise there must be multiple points of redundancy to ensure stability, the same is true of organizational structures. To maintain this stability in organizations, it is then critical that no one member becomes indispensable—that is, bureaucrats are meant to be replaceable, by design. In order for any one person to be replaceable, it is necessary to have some degree of redundancy among roles and responsibilities.”

Are you referring to the thick layer of worthless middle managers who are never held responsible for poor performance, low morale, and/or could literally stay in those positions for 3/4/5 years? Where is the accountability? 🤔

It keeps on falling !

CDW (NASDAQ:CDW) Corporation’s stock has experienced a notable downturn, touching a 52-week low of $157.31. With a market capitalization of $20.71 billion and a P/E ratio of 20.28, this latest price level reflects a significant retreat from previous valuations.

Back to 2020 levels now. BUY BUY BUY!

How can there not be more layoffs? They are needed. Look at the stock and now the true market uncertainty. ALL fat and non money making initiatives and programs should be cut now including Mission Forward, I predict there will be a complete reorganization that will drive a layoff, and likely a new successor will be hired that can take over for CL since literally nobody on her leadership team is even remotely qualified to run this, or even work here. She hired so many weak people, and the ones who were qualified to lead CDW have all left in frustration or were pushed out. Sad.

Awww did somebody get their feewings hurt? You must be one of the worthless leaders on this sinking ship.

The post about the concern for the employee was fantastic and so accurate. It is very thought provoking. Excellent work, though very sad.

I have heard more are coming too but am unsure if they are rumors or reality. Based on the past posts and what then happens, they have been accurate enough to check in weekly to try to find out what is coming next.

LOL. The lies you tell are hilarious. I am fascinated that you feel the need to try to scare others or play virtual dress up and hope others might care about what you write in order to make yourself feel important. You were 100% NOT on a call where they discussed a planned layoff and moving it from April to September. Your ignorance on how CDW operates shines through here. Does this really make you feel good about yourself or make you feel like you matter by making up stories and hoping others will believe you?

"More talks of layoffs. I was on a call where they discussed moving them from April to late summer or September. They said they must happen prior to the end of the last quarter but wanted to delay them to not affect consumer and customer confidence and have a further drop of the stock price. I can't say more than that or they will figure out who I am."

What's obviously missing any concern about impact on employees. After the fiasco of announcing layoffs in an email at 6:00AM last year and failing to come up with plans for people to self select severance this year, it has v come obvious and hat the impact on employees is a dimininus concern of the Executive Team, hence the reason that so many people who can leave are leaving as the Reserve Stock Units vest out. Add in the fact that those are now only available to Directors and above going forward (Greed) and there is no incentive for talent to stay. I work with a team that developed after an acquisition -basically taken over by a lifer CDW boomerang employee and morale is bad. Try working for a Director who is clearly on the spectrum. It's like working for Musk.

"Maybe we need more tariffs"

LOL...this decline started way before Jan and we all know why.

Maybe we need more tariffs

https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/cdw-corporation-cdw-unlocking-a-33-upside-potential-in-the-it-services-sector/4121189361 current stock price of $168.52 might appear relatively modest when compared to its 52-week high of $257.87. However, this presents an intriguing entry point for investors, especially considering the average analyst target price of $224.43. This suggests a potential upside of approximately 33.18%, which is significant for a company with such a substantial market presence.

Despite the lack of a trailing P/E ratio, CDW’s forward P/E of 15.99 indicates that the market expects earnings growth ahead. Couple this with a healthy return on equity of 49.04%, and it’s evident that CDW is not only generating profits but is also efficiently reinvesting them to fuel future growth. The revenue growth of 3.30% further underscores the company’s steady performance in delivering IT solutions that are in high demand.

FWIW this is a huge payout for the executive team.
