Wesco (NYSE:WAIR) remains in the depths of a difficult turnaround. Results for their recently completed quarter were again disappointing, and despite new management’s guidance for revenue and EBITDA growth in the coming year, investors are reluctant to take them at their word. We underestimated the complexity of the required turnaround, but we are encouraged by signs of incremental progress and believe shares currently trade at an attractive discount to our reset expectations.
