What PC Connection, Inc. told the SEC could break it.
As an IT reseller, PC Connection's risks center on the products and policies upstream of it. It buys a majority of its resale products from a limited number of vendors — its top three, Microsoft (16%), HP (13%) and Dell (12%), were about 41% of 2025 purchases — and the same imported IT goods are exposed to additional duties, tariffs and trade restrictions. It also flagged demand-side government risk in its Public Sector segment (federal contracting rules plus budget cuts and shutdowns) and an operational single point of failure, with a significant share of its core computer and telecom hardware housed in one New Hampshire facility.
4 self-disclosed vulnerabilities, pulled from its own filings — each in the company’s words, with the source. This is the risk register almost nobody reads.

Supplier concentration
- majority of resale products from a limited number of vendorsmedium
