## Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

What the numbers say: Ferguson Enterprises Inc. is the scale leader at $31,759 million, 72.8% ahead of W.W. Grainger, Inc.. QXO, Inc.'s growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 14914% from a $8,558 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Ferguson Enterprises Inc. is the scale benchmark; QXO, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Ferguson Enterprises Inc.'s growth falls below QXO, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Evidence: Ferguson Enterprises Inc. · $31,759 million | 72.8% versus #2 · W.W. Grainger, Inc. | 8/8 recent comparable periods | 12/20 companies · 378 observations

Definition: Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

## Return On Capital Employed

What the numbers say: Fastenal Company leads ROCE at 11.7%, 0.3 percentage points above W.W. Grainger, Inc.. MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +1.6 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

Investor read: Fastenal Company sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

Evidence: Fastenal Company · 11.7% | 2.6% versus #2 · W.W. Grainger, Inc. | 5/8 recent comparable periods | 20/20 companies · 372 observations

Definition: ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

## Valuation Against Growth & Quality

What the numbers say: Ferguson Enterprises Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.7×, 54.5% below EVI Industries, Inc.. Only 7 of 20 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

Evidence: Ferguson Enterprises Inc. · 0.7× | 54.5% versus #2 · EVI Industries, Inc. | 0/8 recent comparable periods | 7/20 companies · 65 observations

Definition: PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

## What can make this comparison misleading?
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which Industrial Distribution company is largest by revenue?

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. leads with revenue of $31,759 million, based on 12 of 20 comparable companies through Mar 2026.

### Which Industrial Distribution company is growing fastest?

QXO, Inc. has the fastest current revenue growth at 100%, across 12 of 20 comparable companies.

### Which Industrial Distribution company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. ranks first at 67.3/100 with 85.3% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.

### Which Industrial Distribution company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.7, among 7 of 20 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

### How much history does this Industrial Distribution comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

### How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

### Which Industrial Distribution company is the biggest?

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $31,759 million, ahead of W.W. Grainger, Inc. at $18,378 million. That covers 12 of 20 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

### Which Industrial Distribution company has the best profit margins?

Fastenal Company has the highest operating margin at 20.3%, from 20 of 20 comparable companies. QXO, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +276.5 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

### Which Industrial Distribution company makes the most profit?

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. earns the most, at $2,094 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 12 of 20 comparable companies. Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

### Which Industrial Distribution company earns the highest return on capital?

Fastenal Company leads on return on capital employed at 11.7%, across 20 of 20 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

### Which Industrial Distribution stock is the cheapest?

On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Ferguson Enterprises Inc. screens cheapest at 0.7×. Only 7 of 20 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

### Is the Industrial Distribution sector beating the market?

Industrial Distribution has underperformed S&P 500 by 5.7% over the last 52 weeks and 1.5% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 8 of 20 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

### Which Industrial Distribution stock has the strongest price momentum?

Xometry, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

### Which Industrial Distribution company scores highest for research priority?

MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. scores 67.3 out of 100 with 85.3% evidence confidence, from 23.2 points on growth and earnings, 14.2 on capital efficiency, 11.1 on valuation and 18.8 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

### How many Industrial Distribution companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 20 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

### What is the total market cap of the Industrial Distribution sector?

The 20 Industrial Distribution companies on this page carry $274,736 million of combined market value. W.W. Grainger, Inc. is the largest at $61,398 million, about 22% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.

### What is the Industrial Distribution sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 20 Industrial Distribution companies on this page is 26.4×, measured on the 19 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.

### How is the Industrial Distribution sector performing?

8 of the 20 covered Industrial Distribution companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 5.7% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.

### How many Industrial Distribution stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 20 listed Industrial Distribution companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

### Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

### Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
