What Insight Enterprises does

Resells IT hardware, software and cloud solutions and provides related services to businesses, government and schools.

Buys hardware and software from vendors such as Microsoft, Dell and Cisco and resells it with a markup, so most sales are low-margin products, mainly in North America. Services such as cloud migration and managed IT pay better and are the higher-margin part of the mix. Vendor incentives and rebates also shape profit.

Products and services

  • Hardware/device reselling
  • Cloud and software solutions
  • Managed/professional services

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • IT services
  • IT product reseller/solutions…
  • Enterprise, public sector and education…

What could go right

  • Enterprise device refresh cycles
  • Cloud/AI infrastructure spending

What could go wrong

  • Thin reseller margins
  • Vendor/distributor competitive pricing

Moat: none (scale, distribution). Scale purchasing and vendor relationships help, but IT reselling is a low-margin, competitive business.

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.
