Analysis
Insight Enterprises reported a strong fourth quarter, with adjusted diluted earnings per share increasing 11% year-over-year to $2.96 and gross margin expanding by 220 basis points to 23.4%. This performance was driven by robust growth in Cloud gross profit (up 11%) and Insight Core services gross profit (up 16%). While full-year GAAP net earnings decreased significantly by 37% to $157.3 million, primarily due to a net loss on revaluation of warrant settlement liabilities and higher interest expense, the full-year adjusted diluted EPS still saw a modest 2% increase to $9.87. The company provided a positive outlook for full-year 2026, expecting adjusted diluted EPS (excluding stock-based compensation) to be between $11.00 and $11.50, representing approximately 5% growth at the midpoint compared to 2025. This indicates continued operational momentum and strategic focus on higher-margin services.
