# ScanSource Inc. (SCSC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Technology / Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components. Price $58.48, market value $1.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 16.1×** (5-yr avg 12.0×, 3-yr avg 14.2×). ScanSource Inc. trades at 16.1× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 12.0×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 10.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.48**. A PEG of 0.48 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.4×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.3×**. The shares trade at 1.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.8×**. Enterprise value is 9.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 9.6%** (5-yr avg 6.1%). Free cash flow equals 9.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 6.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 6.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 13.6%**. ScanSource Inc. keeps 13.6% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 3.1%**. 3.1% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 2.4%**. 2.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 8.7%**. 8.7% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 8.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 8.4%.
- **Return on assets: 4.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 6.1%** (3-yr -5.2%/yr, 5-yr 0.5%/yr). Revenue grew 6.1% over the last year, against 0.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 21.3%** (3-yr 0.9%/yr, 5-yr 54.0%/yr). Earnings per share rose 21.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.11**. Debt is 0.11 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.1×**. It would take 0.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Current ratio: 1.76** (quick 1.76). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.76 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 3.60**. A Z-score of 3.60 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 30.8%** (YTD 49.7%, 3-mo 25.2%). The shares are up 30.8% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -12.4%** (73.2% above the low). Trading 12% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 61**. An RSI of 61 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.22** (volatility 37%). Beta of 1.22 against the S&P 500: the shares move roughly with the market.
