## Elevator Pitch

- WESCO International's results have consistently missed expectations, driven by weak demand and significant headwinds in its business portfolio, particularly in the utilities segment.
- Valuations are near long-term averages, but shrinking earnings growth expectations pose downside risks, despite slightly re-rated 1-year fwd P/E multiples.
- Technical analysis suggests further downside, albeit slowly, before bullish reversals.
- Manufacturing PMIs have been contracting for many months now, but they are a key thing to monitor and are a source of upside risk should they rebound as this suggests an improved business environment for WESCO.
