Diamond Hill Capital made the following comment about WESCO International, Inc. (NYSE:WCC) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

WESCO International, Inc. (NYSE:WCC) is a leading distributor of electrical, industrial and communications materials and provider of supply chain management and logistics services. It bounced back from a tough Q2 when its share price was hit particularly hard amid recession fears due to its somewhat elevated leverage. More recent quarterly results showed its acquisition of Anixter is generating better-than-expected revenue and cost synergies. Solid revenue was due in part to cross-selling opportunities and having better access to products than smaller peers impacted by ongoing supply chain issues. We believe the near-term risk of WESCO’s leverage is outweighed by the value creation opportunity provided by the merger, and believe the stock remains attractively valued.”
