Gekko Brief

AI summaryOct 12 close

This week's news for ePlus centers on routine director filings rather than company news: several Form 4 filings show directors Bruce M. Bowen, Renee Bergeron, Michael J. Portegello and John E. Callies each receiving restricted stock awards of 1,201 shares on October 1, 2026 under the company's 2024 Non-Employee Director Long Term Incentive Plan. Separately, a stock price commentary piece noted shares trading at $93.30 against a cited fair value of $111.00, pointing to the company's order backlog, security and services mix, and balance sheet as factors in its thesis.

ePlus shares closed at $94.90, up 1.7%, sitting above both the 50-day average of $90.27 and the 200-day average of $85.27, with the shorter average above the longer one. The stock trades within its 52-week range of $69.25 to $98.14, and the GekkoIndex reads 51.2, placing it in the Neutral zone. Gekko Fair Value stands at $96.8, putting the current price about 2% below that level.

Earnings are scheduled for 9 November 2026 after close, 28 days away and inside a typical 20-trading-day holding window; the prior report showed an 8% reaction and four beats across eight quarters. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the respective 90-day and 30-day windows.

Last earnings call, May 28, 2026 AI summary

What they said
ePlus reported record gross billings of $3.8 billion for fiscal year 2026, with double-digit growth across key revenue and operating metrics. Fully diluted EPS from continuing operations rose 53% YoY in Q4 and 64% for the full year. The company divested its domestic financing business to focus on pure-play IT solutions. Cash balance ended at $411 million with strong backlog. Growth was driven by AI, cloud, data center, networking, and security segments.
Guidance
Management enters fiscal 2027 with record backlog and solid demand momentum. Potential headwinds include worldwide memory chip shortages and geopolitical risks, partially offset by AI and digital transformation tailwinds. Board authorized an 8% quarterly dividend increase to $0.27 per share, signaling long-term confidence.
