Right Tail Capital Jeremy Kokemor | “The manager exited Insight Enterprises because the fundamental performance of the underlying business grew unclear. Furthermore, the decision to move on from this small holding was accelerated by activist investor ValueAct selling down its position.” | BEAR | Q2 2025 Jul 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
FMI Small Cap Equity Jonathan T. Bloom | “Insight Enterprises is a leading provider of information technology solutions in North America (81% of revenue), Europe (16%), and Asia-Pacific (3%). They provide value to customers by assisting them with the design, selection, procurement, integration, and management of their IT solutions. To vendor partners, Insight offers a cost-effective way to reach a large customer base with strong implementation capabilities. The North American IT industry has historically grown at around 4% per annum. Insight, being one of the larger players in the industry, has scale advantages that make them difficult to compete against, particularly for the smaller regional players that make up the majority of the market. Therefore, we believe Insight can outgrow the underlying industry by taking market share over time. When factoring in margin expansion and share buybacks, we believe the company's earnings per share can compound at an attractive, double-digit rate. The shares are trading at low valuation multiples as demand for IT solutions was pulled forward during COVID, which subsequently led to several years of weak customer spending. We think this is a temporary lull, and that end market demand will recover in the coming years providing an opportunity for an attractive return to shareholders. BSD Analysis: Insight appears positioned for sustained double-digit EPS growth supported by scale advantages, expanding services exposure, and normalization in enterprise IT spending post-COVID. The company generates solid free cash flow and continues to repurchase shares, while its valuation remains discounted relative to peers despite improving margins. Hybrid-cloud migration and vendor consolidation should support ongoing market-share gains. Risks include macro IT budget softness and concentration among key vendors, but Insight's competitive positioning suggests a favorable long-term outlook.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |

BSD Analysis: Insight is a stealth-mode Solutions Integrator that the market mistakenly prices as a low-margin hardware reseller, creating a massive multiple arbitrage opportunity. The core investment thesis is built on the successful pivot to high-margin Services and Cloud gross profit, which is structurally insulating the company from cyclical hardware volatility. Insight's launch of Insight AI is the critical catalyst, positioning it as a mandatory partner for large enterprises struggling to convert AI visions into tangible ROI. By leveraging its deep partnerships with Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, Insight is the execution layer for the multi-cloud world, ensuring consistent, double-digit growth in its recurring services revenue and accelerating its path toward superior Adjusted EBITDA margins.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
