TD SYNNEX (SNX) Gains AI Distribution Exposure, Is The Stock Still Undervalued?

Hammerhead AI’s new collaboration naming TD SYNNEX (SNX) as distributor for its ORCA software puts the stock in focus, linking the IT distributor directly to power-efficient AI data center deployments.

Against that backdrop, TD SYNNEX’s recent collaboration news lands at a time when the stock has pulled back over the past quarter, with the 90-day share price return down 7.5% even as the year-to-date share price return sits at 71.1% and the 3-year total shareholder return reaches 167.8%. This suggests that longer term holders have experienced strong gains while short term momentum has cooled.
