Investment management firm Diamond Hill Capital, in its Q2 investment letter titled “Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund”, talked about WESCO International, Inc. (NYSE:WCC). Here is what the fund said:

WESCO, a leading distributor of electrical, industrial and communications materials, was a top contributor as it continues making progress on its integration of Anixter—an acquisition that closed in early 2020—and is strategically paying down merger-related debt. With increased scale and added synergy from its acquisition, we believe WESCO is well positioned as it generates strong free cash flow.”
