Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Information
Our common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market since June 27, 2013, under the symbol “CDW.”
Holders
As of February 17, 2026, there were 5 holders of record of our common stock. The number of beneficial stockholders is substantially greater than the number of holders of record because a portion of our common stock is held through brokerage firms.
Dividends
On February 4, 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.630 per share. The dividend will be paid on March 10, 2026, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 25, 2026.
We expect to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends on our common stock in the future, but such payments remain at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, business prospects, capital requirements, contractual restrictions (including in current or future agreements governing our indebtedness), restrictions imposed by applicable law, tax considerations, and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. For additional information on our cash resources and needs and restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

The timing and amounts of any purchases will be based on market conditions and other factors including but not limited to share price, regulatory requirements, and capital availability. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum dollar amount or number of shares, and the program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has approximately $685 million remaining under the program.
