Explain this story: CDW's Buyback Pace Jumps: Can Stronger Cash Flow Sustain Returns?
CDW Corporation significantly increased its share repurchases in the first half of 2026, already nearing its total for the previous year, with $545 million in buybacks and $161 million in dividends. The company's ability to maintain this pace depends on improving its free cash flow conversion, which was below its long-term target of 80-90% due to working-capital timing and inventory build-up. CDW's balance sheet remains strong, and management expects better cash flow in the second half through inventory rationalization and efficiency initiatives.
