Computacenter Raises FY26 Outlook After Strong H1

The VAR expects first half profit to double following momentum in North America and the U.K.

Computacenter raised its FY26 expectations after strong growth in North America and the U.K. propelled the VAR to a better-than-expected Q2.

The Hatfield, U.K.-headquartered firm now expects to deliver full-year results “comfortably ahead” of market expectations, despite facing tougher comparatives during the second half of the year.

The new outlook comes as Computacenter expects its first half adjusted profit before tax to approximately double year-on-year to around 163 million pounds (about $218 million), compared with 81.5 million pounds (about $93 million) during the same period last year.

The group credited its performance to stronger-than-expected growth in North America, alongside an “excellent” performance in the U.K.

Computacenter reported higher-than-expected volume growth with hyperscale customers, benefiting both its technology sourcing and professional services businesses.

The firm has also bolstered its footprint in the region through M&A deals.

In May, it bought Government Acquisitions Inc (GAI), a VAR focused on the U.S. federal government market.
