This week's news centers on ScanSource completing its acquisition of MicroAge, a move aimed at expanding its IT solutions integrator capabilities into cloud, cybersecurity, data center, and AI markets. Despite reporting fiscal 2026 revenues of $3.23 billion and increased net income, coverage notes the stock trades below the consensus target. A separate 13G/A filing disclosed Wasatch Advisors' passive stake in the company, and one analysis described weak near-term sentiment alongside a stronger mid and long-term outlook.
ScanSource closed at $60.67, down 0.4%, holding above both its 50-day average of $56.97 and 200-day average of $46.43, with the shorter average above the longer one. The stock sits in the GekkoIndex Neutral zone at a reading of 51.4, up 2.7 over five sessions. Price stands 20.4% above Gekko Fair Value of $50.39, a notable gap on the valuation side even as the trend remains firmly upward, with a 1-year return of 46.3% and a 52-week high of $66.78.
The next earnings date falls on 5 November 2026, 24 days away and within a typical 20-trading-day holding window; the prior report on 20 August beat estimates, with EPS of $1.46 against a $1.14 estimate and a 5.7% reaction. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the respective 90-day and 30-day windows. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 5.6% gain over 5 years, rising in 4 of them, a pattern worth noting alongside the current valuation gap.
