What the price assumes: free cash flow growing over 60% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten — vs a starting rate of ~14% our model takes as the middle of three readings — analyst estimates, last year's revenue growth, and the company's own multi-year record.

Why now
Industrial Distribution · market cap $17.8b. 6% off the 52-week high of $388.64. Revenue growing +13%, comfortably above the S&P median. 11 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $399.18 (implying +9% upside).
Moat
ROE 14% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere.
Risk
Beta 1.55 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return. Net margin 2.8% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first.
Horizon
1-3 yr $399.18 (11-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $584.44 at ~10% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $866.98 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

WESCO International, Inc. (WCC): score, valuation & FAQ
WESCO International, Inc. (WCC) is an Industrial Distribution company that scores 58.7 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are Rev (B+). On valuation, WCC sits about 804% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing over 60% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten.
Is WCC a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores WCC 58.7 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by Rev (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of WESCO International, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does WCC score 58.7 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on growth at 85.7 out of 100, with value the weakest pillar at 44.1 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. WCC earns its highest marks on Rev (B+). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so WCC is measured against Industrial Distribution peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is WCC overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $365.69, WCC sits about 804% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing over 60% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 25.3x P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in WCC?
Beta 1.55 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return. Net margin 2.8% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first.
