Just yesterday, one of those Fools, hend6, offered a cautiously bullish take on PC Connection:
Income is a little low, but improving, with net profit as a percentage of sales in the upper [1%] range. Balance sheet is very strong though, with relatively good liquidity and the ability to pay all of their debt with current assets. Technology intermediaries should have room to grow as markets continually expand. No dividend though and treasury stock signals some internal uncertainty. Will reevaluate in a year.
