2
Non-GAAP operating income margin expanded by 22 basis points year over year, reflecting a greater Hyve mix and improved margins within Distribution.
3
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew 62% year over year, supported by profitable growth and disciplined capital allocation.

TD SYNNEX was selected by HPE as one of two Global Distribution Partners under a unified model, and earned multiple HPE Partner of the Year awards across North America and Europe.

The board declared a quarterly cash dividend per common share (payable July 31, 2026) with a stockholders record date of July 17, 2026, and TD SYNNEX announced an earnings conference call to discuss the results.
TD SYNNEX reported record revenue of $19.575 billion in its fiscal second quarter, up 31% year over year and well above Wall Street's estimate of roughly $16.8 billion, according to Guru Focus. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share came in at $4.85, beating analyst expectations by $0.71 and surging 62% from a year ago, Watchlist News reported.
The results sent shares soaring more than 5.5% in pre-market trading. The board also raised the quarterly dividend 9% to $0.48 per share, payable July 31, 2026, signaling strong confidence in the company's cash flow. Nasdaq reported that Q3 guidance called for revenue between $18.2 billion and $19.0 billion, again topping Wall Street's expectations.
Hyve Solutions Drives the AI Infrastructure Boom
The standout performer this quarter was Hyve Solutions, TD SYNNEX's unit that builds custom server racks for the world's biggest tech companies. Hyve revenue jumped 49% year over year to $3.0 billion. The unit designs hardware for hyperscalers — giants like Microsoft, Google, and Meta — who are spending at record levels on AI data centers.
Distribution, the company's traditional IT resale business, also held its own. That segment brought in $16.6 billion, up 28% year over year. Non-GAAP gross billings — a broader measure that includes the full value of software and services sold — hit $28.879 billion, up 33.4% from a year ago. CEO Patrick Zammit said the results reflect "broad-based strength across Distribution and Hyve, building on the momentum carried from prior quarters," according to Seeking Alpha.
HPE Names TD SYNNEX One of Only Two Global Partners
A major strategic win came in May. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) named TD SYNNEX as one of only two Global Distribution Partners under a new unified model. The other partner is Ingram Micro. HPE's Simon Ewington said the choice was driven by the need for a "simpler, more scalable model" to support AI and cloud infrastructure, according to Finance Yahoo.
TD SYNNEX followed that up in June by winning multiple 2026 HPE Partner of the Year awards, including Distributor of the Year for North America and North Western Europe. The HPE tie-up matters because it locks TD SYNNEX into a preferred position as enterprise AI hardware spending accelerates. Analysts see the deal as part of a broader industry shift toward a small group of "super-distributors" who can handle global logistics, cloud services, and AI tech support all at once.
Shareholders Get Dividend Hike and $151M Returned This Quarter
TD SYNNEX returned $151 million to shareholders in Q2. That breaks down to $112 million in share buybacks and $39 million in dividends. The board then raised the quarterly dividend from roughly $0.44 to $0.48 per share — a 9% increase. The new dividend is payable July 31, 2026, to shareholders of record as of July 17, 2026, Nasdaq reported.
CFO Marshall Witt managed the capital return program while also keeping the balance sheet in shape for growth. MarketWatch noted that TD SYNNEX shares were on track to open at an all-time high after Q3 guidance topped expectations. The stock was trading near $290, roughly double its price from a year-ago low.
Thin Margins and Ingram Micro Rivalry Cloud the Outlook
The results were not without concerns. GAAP gross margin actually slipped 16 basis points to 6.84%. The culprit is the "mix shift" — more revenue coming from Hyve's high-volume, lower-margin manufacturing work. If component costs rise, that pressure could get worse. Critics also note that non-GAAP gross billings can make the business look bigger than traditional revenue figures do.
Meanwhile, Ingram Micro is not standing still. Both companies now hold the same elite HPE partner status, setting up a tight race for AI networking business among small and midsize companies. Bank of America analysts called the quarter a "strong print" and said enterprise server demand is proving "far more inelastic" than expected, even as prices rise, according to Finance Yahoo. TD SYNNEX heads into the second half of 2026 with strong momentum — but thin margins leave little room for error.
