Back in October, PC Connection made our screen of analyst-topping fiscal performers. Three months later it did it again. PC Connection has trounced projections by at least four pennies a share every single quarter over the past year. As a regular in our Rising Margins screen, too, the company could have been spotted as a consistent overachiever. Besting estimates time and again is no easy feat.
Analysts keep raising the bar until a company eventually buckles under.
In PC Connection's case, trouncing expectations by such a wide margin over the past year is almost embarrassing to Wall Street prognosticators. PC Connection, which some might only consider in terms of its colorful mail-order catalogs, is doing an amazing job in getting small corporate America up to networking speed. Widening its services and offerings has made the company less susceptible to specific industry hiccups. In the process, it has become a more dynamic company. And, sure, the streak of always staying a few pennies ahead of the projections will eventually end.
