Electrical distribution UBS backlog growth measures the year-over-year change in backlog for Wesco's Utility & Broadband Solutions segment.

Wesco reported approximately 80% UBS backlog growth at the end of the second quarter of 2026.

Grid Services was a major driver

Wesco said record UBS backlog was driven by accelerating Grid Services adoption and strong underlying order activity.

The company also highlighted a significant multi-year Grid Services award from a hyperscale data-center customer.

Backlog still requires execution

The metric remains subordinate to the generic backlog concept because timing and conversion can vary.

Read it with UBS organic sales growth and data center sales growth.
