We've uncovered the 9 dividend fortresses yielding 5%+ that don't just survive market storms, but thrive in them.
To own PC Connection, you need to believe in a relatively steady IT reseller and services business that converts modest revenue growth into consistent cash generation. The latest quarter supports that view: higher sales and earnings, together with a maintained US$0.20 dividend and an active buyback program, point to a management team comfortable returning cash while funding operations. In the short term, the main catalysts still sit around execution on margins and how effectively the company uses its balance sheet for repurchases, rather than the dividend decision itself, which looks more like a continuation than a new development. The bigger risks remain its premium valuation versus peers, relatively low return on equity and questions around whether CEO pay and an aging board are aligned with shareholder outcomes, even after this stronger set of results.
However, investors should also be aware of concerns around valuation, governance and return on equity. PC Connection's shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued.
