What Computacenter does

UK-headquartered IT reseller and services provider that supplies, deploys and manages hardware/software and cloud infrastructure for large organizations.

Resells hardware and software at a thin mark-up, and that sourcing business makes up most of revenue, while professional and managed services lift profit per customer by bundling support. Germany and the UK are its main markets, with North America grown through acquisitions.

In one line: A UK version of CDW or Insight Enterprises.

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Information Technology
  • IT services/reseller
  • Hardware/software procurement & managed…

What could go right

  • Enterprise cloud migration spend
  • Managed-services (higher-margin) mix growth

What could go wrong

  • Hardware reselling margin compression
  • IT-budget cyclicality

Moat: none (scale, distribution, customer qualification). Vendor accreditations and scale give purchasing/logistics efficiency, but reselling has thin, competitive margins.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
