How Do the Five Companies Differ in Scale and Net Margin?
Ingram Micro's net sales of $15,220 million are roughly 5.0 times DXC Technology's revenue of $3,034 million (calculated). That scale comes with slim profitability, as its net income of $131.1 million equals about 0.9% of net sales (calculated).
DXC Technology's net income of $13 million equals about 0.4% of revenue (calculated). Grid Dynamics earned about 5.4% (calculated) and Rimini Street about 5.8% (calculated). Forrester's GAAP net loss of $4.4 million works out to about negative 5.1% of revenue (calculated).
Grid Dynamics and Rimini Street post higher net margins than the two largest names, and their growth rates of 9.7% and 8% fall between Ingram Micro's 20.8% and the declines at DXC Technology and Forrester. Forrester is the only company of the five with a GAAP net loss, although its adjusted EPS was positive at $0.24.
