  • Al Miralles said written orders exceeded invoicing and replenished the backlog, while CDW raised its full-year gross profit and non-GAAP earnings growth outlooks.

Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 10 April 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2025 15.01m 9.65m 109.72
2024 10.05m 2.93m 138.12
2023 9.02m 15.92m 178.37

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together less than 1%
The Vanguard Group 13.08%
BlackRock, Inc. 8.46%
Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
