Insight Enterprises updated its FY 2026 guidance to 13.550-13.750 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Insight Enterprises’ conference call:

• Strong Q3 results led to raised full-year guidance. Gross profit rose 20% and adjusted diluted EPS increased 34%; Insight now expects 2026 gross profit growth of 12.5%–14% and adjusted diluted EPS of $13.55–$13.75, excluding stock-based compensation.
• AI-related infrastructure demand and services growth were key drivers. Infrastructure gross profit increased more than 50%, while cloud gross profit grew 26% and Insight Core Services gross profit rose 21%; management said clients are investing in both on-premises and cloud environments for AI.
• Management expects growth to moderate in Q4. The outlook reflects tougher comparisons, the impact of Google Partner Program changes, and uncertainty around memory pricing, supply chains, and the broader economy, although the company reported healthy bookings and elevated backlog entering the quarter.
• Insight is pursuing operating leverage while investing in growth. A voluntary separation program is expected to generate about $30 million in annualized gross savings, with resources redirected toward AI, cybersecurity, and technical talent; the company also intends to complete its remaining $74 million share-repurchase authorization this year.
