Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into CDW?
At today's price, CDW Corporation needs to grow free cash flow about 8.6% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.31% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 15.1% a year, so the market is asking for 6.5 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis CDW looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

CDW Corporation is currently running 48.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CDW's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 93rd percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 23.9%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
CDW is trading -40.8% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -19.1%, and the deepest was -42.5% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.
Price sits +15.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 79th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year CDW closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.
On September specifically: over 13 years of records, CDW finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +1.4% and an average of +0.2%. Its strongest month historically has been July at +2.9% on average, its weakest March at -1.5%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: CDW has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 136 of 3,269 sessions (4.2% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.9% and -10.8%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
All figures computed from 3,270 daily closes between 2013-09-05 and 2026-09-04, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CDW's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
