Ingram Micro connects technology vendors with resellers, retailers and systems integrators that serve businesses, governments and consumers. These intermediaries pay it for products to sell or install for their own customers. Computers, phones and related devices account for most sales; enterprise systems such as servers, networking and cybersecurity are the next-largest business. It also helps customers finance purchases, deliver products and handle repairs and returns.
Partners use Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace to offer third-party cloud services and subscriptions to their customers. This marketplace is integrated into its Xvantage digital platform in many key markets. Enterprise systems and cloud offerings together provide most of gross profit, despite accounting for a smaller share of sales than computers and other endpoint devices.
The business depends on IT spending, access to vendors’ products and funding inventory while customers pay on credit. Apple is its largest supplier by product sales, with Lenovo and HP Inc. also important; no single customer dominates sales. Vendor agreements can generally end on short notice, so continued access and commercial terms matter. Export controls also restrict which advanced computing and AI products U.S. vendors can supply to Chinese end customers, limiting what Ingram Micro can distribute.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Ingram Micro also relies materially on Lenovo and HP Inc., whose products generated approximately 10% and 9% of its fiscal 2025 net sales, respectively.
TD SYNNEX competes with Ingram Micro for reseller and retail customers, selling substantially overlapping hardware, software and cloud offerings. Its sales of PCs and enterprise IT products give investors another view of demand in Ingram Micro’s markets.
Ingram Micro depends heavily on Apple devices: products bought from Apple generated approximately 21% of its consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025 before being sold on to resellers. Apple’s smartphone, computer and tablet launches are therefore worth watching alongside device sales.
Arrow Electronics competes with Ingram Micro through its enterprise computing distribution business, supplying customers with IT hardware and infrastructure software. Watch that business rather than Arrow’s electronic-component sales for a read on demand facing Ingram Micro’s enterprise offerings.
ScanSource competes with Ingram Micro to sell networking, communications, security and point-of-sale technology to resellers. Its specialty technology business, primarily in the United States and Brazil, is the place to watch for pricing and margin pressure in these overlapping products.
CDW buys hardware and software from Ingram Micro, then resells and integrates them into IT solutions for business, government, education and healthcare customers. CDW’s sales to these groups offer a view of the end-customer demand behind its purchases from Ingram Micro.
Cisco supplies networking and software products that Ingram Micro resells, so changes in Cisco’s distributor terms can affect Ingram Micro’s product access and economics. Watch changes to distribution access and pricing following Cisco’s acquisition of Splunk.
Dell Technologies supplies PCs and enterprise infrastructure that Ingram Micro sells to its reseller network. Dell’s commercial PC sales and server, storage and networking revenue offer separate views of demand across Ingram Micro’s device and enterprise businesses.
HPE supplies enterprise infrastructure that Ingram Micro resells through Advanced Solutions, its business serving enterprise projects. HPE’s networking, cloud and AI results are worth watching because these offerings sit in an Ingram Micro business that generally earns stronger operating margins than its device business.
Microsoft supplies software and cloud offerings that Ingram Micro sells to resellers through its distribution business and cloud marketplace. Microsoft’s business applications and cloud results offer a view of demand for the software and subscriptions Ingram Micro sells.
Climb Global Solutions competes with Ingram Micro by buying software and infrastructure products from vendors and selling them to resellers and systems integrators. Watch its new vendor authorizations and reseller relationships, where it competes on bringing new products to market, price and service.
PC Connection buys technology from Ingram Micro for resale to businesses, government and education customers; Ingram Micro supplied approximately 21% of its total product purchases in 2025. Watch PC Connection’s purchases from Ingram Micro, rather than treating its cancelable order backlog as a guide to future demand.
Insight Enterprises buys technology from Ingram Micro for resale, relying on product availability and partner incentives to support its hardware, software and cloud business. Changes to Ingram Micro’s rebates, purchasing incentives or supply terms matter to this customer, although Insight says alternative suppliers are available in substantially all product categories.
ePlus buys products from Ingram Micro and combines them into data-center, cloud, networking and security solutions for enterprises. Its integrated-solution sales, rather than individual hardware categories, are the useful signal for demand flowing to Ingram Micro.
Logitech relies on Ingram Micro to distribute its peripherals: Ingram Micro and affiliated entities accounted for 14% of Logitech’s gross sales in fiscal 2026. Logitech’s keyboard, pointing-device and video-collaboration sales offer a view of demand for the peripherals and workplace products Ingram Micro resells.
PC Connection Inc earningsCNXN
PC Connection's report can show whether this direct customer is buying more or fewer technology products from Ingram Micro.
Look for PC Connection's disclosed purchases from Ingram Micro or changes in those purchases; do not treat its cancelable order backlog as future demand. Higher purchases mean more business is flowing through this customer to Ingram Micro. Lower purchases mean this customer may be contributing less sales, but one customer's figures cannot establish that the whole market is weakening.
Ingram Micro Holding Corporation earningsThis company
Ingram Micro's report will show whether growth in its client and endpoint products is being matched by its generally higher-margin Advanced Solutions business and supported by gross margin.
Read Client and Endpoint Solutions sales growth alongside Advanced Solutions growth and gross margin. Advanced Solutions generally earns higher margins: if it grows too and gross margin holds, Ingram Micro is expanding beyond lower-margin volume. If growth comes mainly from Client and Endpoint Solutions while gross margin falls, higher sales are not improving the mix, and product mix is still weighing on profit.
Apple Inc. earningsAAPL
Apple's report offers a read on demand for devices Ingram Micro resells; Apple products accounted for about 21% of Ingram Micro's fiscal 2025 net sales.
Look at Apple's device sales. Stronger demand would provide a firmer backdrop for the Apple products Ingram Micro resells; weaker sales would raise the risk of lower volume from this important product source. Apple's overall sales are not Ingram Micro's purchases or resale figures, so this is a demand signal, not proof of Ingram Micro's own sales.
Cisco Systems, Inc. earningsCSCO
Cisco's report may indicate whether access and pricing are changing for the networking and software products Ingram Micro distributes.
Watch Cisco's comments on distribution access, product availability and pricing, including any changes following its Splunk acquisition. Stable access and terms would make it easier for Ingram Micro to source products and preserve its narrow distribution margins. Tighter access or worse pricing could make supply harder to secure or margins harder to protect. Cisco may not disclose terms specific to Ingram Micro, so treat this as a signal about supply conditions.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company earningsHPE
HPE's networking, cloud and AI results offer a read on demand for enterprise infrastructure Ingram Micro sells through Advanced Solutions.
Look at HPE's networking, cloud and AI-related results. Strength would support the demand backdrop for enterprise infrastructure projects served by Ingram Micro's Advanced Solutions; weakness would point to less demand flowing into those projects. HPE's sales are not Ingram Micro's orders, but they help show the demand environment for Ingram Micro's generally higher-margin business.
TD SYNNEX Corporation earningsSNX
TD SYNNEX's PC and enterprise IT sales will show whether demand is strengthening or weakening in markets where it competes with Ingram Micro.
Look at TD SYNNEX's PC and enterprise IT product sales. Strength would show firmer demand in reseller markets where the two companies compete; weakness would point to softer demand in those markets. TD SYNNEX competes directly with Ingram Micro across hardware, software and cloud distribution, but its sales alone cannot show whether Ingram Micro is gaining or losing market share.
