<h3>Comparing CDW P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 35.53 in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments &amp; Components industry, CDW Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 22.29. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Dell Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) stock is trading lower on Monday amid reports indicating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Trump administration</a> is widening its spending review beyond consulting firms&nbsp;to include tech companies.
The General Services Administration on Wednesday wrote to 10 technology providers, including Dell and CDW Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDW#NASDAQ">CDW</a>) urging them to justify their work and find areas to cut.
The letter highlighted the need to put a tab on the U.S. spending $82 billion annually on IT products and services that have taken a toll on the taxpayer in the form of higher markups, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/trump-federal-contracts-tech-firms-c839fdbb?mod=Searchresults_pos5&amp;page=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Saturday, citing Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of GSA&#8217;s Federal Acquisition Service&#8217;s letter.

The Trump administration&#8217;s review of contracts prompted companies like Booz Allen Hamilton Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>) to downsize their workforce. 
The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter as stating that since January, the federal government has canceled 11,297 contracts across 60 agencies, leading to $33 billion in overall savings.
The government has halted 2,809 consulting-specific contracts to date.
In February, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43836832/trump-administration-orders-sweeping-pentagon-cuts-defense-sector-stocks-on-watch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">urged senior officials</a> to develop plans to cut 8% of the defense budget each of the next five years.

An analysis of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43972234/trump-and-elon-musks-cost-cutting-measures-fail-to-curb-rising-us-government-spending-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">federal data reportedly</a> revealed that the U.S. government&#8217;s spending continues to rise despite the Trump administration&#8217;s concerted efforts to cut costs. Between Jan. 21 and Feb. 20, government spending totaled approximately $710 billion, marking a notable increase from the roughly $630 billion spent during the same period last year. This increase is driven by an aging population and an increasing debt burden.
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44943149/larry-summers-warns-trumps-irs-cuts-could-cost-americans-1-trillion-over-10-years-calls-strategy-raw-incompetence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said that the</a> Trump administration&#8217;s cuts to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could result in a $1 trillion government loss.
