CDW to Acquire Data & AI Firm Lovelytics for $525M
CDW sits 53% above its 52-week low of $97.12.
Summary
CDW announced plans to acquire Lovelytics, a data and AI services firm and Databricks partner, for approximately $525 million. The deal expands CDW's Data & Analytics Practice and adds over 600 specialists across the U.S., Canada, Argentina, and Colombia. Management expects the transaction to close in Q3 and says it will not have a material impact on 2026 financial results. This follows CDW's strong Q2 earnings in August, where net sales rose 10% year-over-year. The acquisition strengthens CDW's position in the fast-growing AI and data services market, though the financial impact is modest relative to CDW's $18.6 billion market cap.
At the time of this announcement, CDW was trading at $148.52 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $18.6B. The 52-week trading range was $97.12 to $171.55.
