ScanSource releases its earnings report at 8:30 AM ET on August 20, a full hour before U.S. markets open. Any surprise, positive or negative, will be priced in from the opening bell.
The company sits at roughly $1.0 billion in revenue, making it one of the more useful bellwethers in the technology distribution space. Its product mix spans barcode scanners, point-of-sale systems, and broader IT hardware, categories that respond quickly to changes in enterprise and retail channel spending.

Because distributors like ScanSource sit between manufacturers and end buyers, their order books tend to reflect real demand shifts before those shifts appear in the results of larger technology companies. A softening in orders signals that businesses are pulling back on hardware refresh cycles, while a strong showing points to sustained channel investment.
Investors tracking IT hardware spending should have the earnings report pulled up before the 9:30 AM open, since the release leaves a narrow window to assess the figures.
