Ingram Micro Holding Corporation (NYSE: INGM) ("Ingram Micro" or the "Company") today reported 2026 fiscal first quarter results for the period ended March 28, 2026. The Company reported net sales of $14.0 billion, up 13.7% year-over-year, and net income on a GAAP basis of $98.9 million, or $0.42 per share, up 42.9% and 44.8% year-over-year, respectively. Non-GAAP net income of $175.5 million, or $0.75 per share,(1) was up 21.7% and 23.0% versus the same period last year, respectively.

"Our first quarter was yet another strong performance with top line growth of 13.7%, on top of double-digit growth the prior year, and earnings per share at the high end of our guidance range. All four of our regions demonstrated top line growth, three of which were double digits. This was led once again by Asia Pacific reflecting our extensive global reach," said Paul Bay, Ingram Micro's Chief Executive Officer. "We have moved from adoption to performance on our XvantageTM platform, with AI-led net sales up more than sixty percent year-over-year in our largest countries. As we continue with our platform deployment and build on our growing portfolio of patents, we remain confident in our ability to further differentiate ourselves as a technology company and further improve our financial model to create long-term value for customers, vendors, and stockholders."

"We delivered a strong start to fiscal 2026, with double-digit growth in key profitability metrics, driven by disciplined execution, coupled with continued optimization and rigorous expense management," said Mike Zilis, Ingram Micro's Chief Financial Officer. "Going forward, we are managing for operating leverage, profitability and return on investment while continuing to invest in our XvantageTM platform and other strategic growth initiatives. We also remain committed to returning capital to stockholders through our increased quarterly dividend and our authorized share repurchase program. In the first quarter, we successfully completed a secondary offering of our stock, which included repurchasing $75 million of stock directly from our majority owner. Today we announced we are expanding the repurchase program to maximize flexibility to further repurchase stock in the future."

Consolidated Fiscal First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

- Net sales totaled $14.0 billion, compared to $12.3 billion in the prior fiscal first quarter, representing an increase of 13.7%. The growth was driven by year-over-year increases in net sales across each of our geographic segments. The translation impact of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar had a 4% positive impact on the year-over-year net sales comparison.

- Gross profit grew to $926.0 million, from $828.8 million in the prior fiscal first quarter.

HFS survey: only a third of AI-active enterprises hit their AI business case

HFS survey: only a third of AI-active enterprises hit their AI business case

Only 33% of 502 senior AI decision makers at AI-active enterprises said their biggest AI program met or beat its business case in an HFS Research–Rackspace survey. Success drops to 28% when AI spans several functions. HFS says the pattern points to a fixable gap: unclear ownership of live AI performance, cost and governance as one system.

  • 01Business-case success falls from 37% to 28% as AI moves from one function to several, and reaches 56% where AI is embedded in standard operations. The groups differ, so this is a pattern rather than proof.
  • 02Survey buyers signaled willingness to pay a premium for a single accountable operator—73% said they would pay for a contracting model tied to clear operational responsibilities and measurable outcomes. HFS says the appetite is strongest among companies that have already felt the ownership gap.
  • 03Before adding another function to a working AI program, settle who answers for its performance, cost and governance after go-live, and how each is measured.

IBM and Microsoft's Imagine Enterprise starts with more than 6,000 pre-built AI agents and assets

IBM and Microsoft's Imagine Enterprise starts with more than 6,000 pre-built AI agents and assets

Imagine Enterprise, the agent platform from IBM and Microsoft, pairs IBM Consulting's more than 6,000 AI agents and assets with Microsoft's AI, data, cloud and security foundation. Forward-deployed engineers from both companies support qualifying engagements. For regulated firms, a useful test could be how quickly one named process reaches production.

  • 01Imagine Enterprise combines more than 6,000 AI agents and assets, Microsoft's identity, security and AI governance tools, and forward-deployed engineers from both companies for qualifying engagements, which suggests buying it looks closer to a delivery engagement than a software download.
  • 02Microsoft products including Entra, Purview and Defender provide the identity, AI governance and security foundation, which could matter most for regulated firms already standardized on Microsoft.
  • 03The sharper pilot question is wall-clock completion time and success rate on one named process as more agents run at once, a yardstick Arm is pushing for agentic workloads.

Google’s TPU 8tx and 8i Max: bandwidth vs. confidential inference

Google’s TPU 8tx and 8i Max: bandwidth vs. confidential inference

Google Cloud has added two systems to its eighth-generation TPU lineup. Network World reports that TPU 8tx is Google Cloud’s first TPU with confidential computing, developed with AMD, and Zeniteq says it uses TPU 8t silicon for secured inference. Google says TPU 8i Max packages two TPU 8i chips together, doubling bandwidth and SRAM while increasing HBM capacity by about a third.

  • 01Neither system uses a new accelerator design: TPU 8tx pairs TPU 8t silicon with fifth-generation AMD EPYC hosts and Google's Boardfly network, while TPU 8i Max packages two existing TPU 8i chips together.
  • 02TPU 8i Max doubles memory bandwidth and on-chip SRAM but raises HBM capacity by 33%, and bandwidth and capacity answer different questions: how fast context data moves versus how much of it the system can hold.
  • 03The 2x latency claim for TPU 8tx is measured against TPU 8t, while the 8i Max gains are measured against TPU 8i. Neither figure says which system finishes a given job more cheaply.
