CSC struck a deal in May 2016 with Hewlett-Packard Enterprise to merge with HPE's Enterprise Services operations, creating the new company DXC Technology, a $26 billion IT infrastructure, services and solutions behemoth with more than 5,000 clients in 70 countries.

That deal was completed on April 3 after the period covered in this analysis. Trading of DXC Technology stock began that day, and trading of CSC shares ended.

CSC was No. 8 on the CRN Solution Provider 500. But DXC, following the merger, is likely to garner a higher ranking.

In February CSC and HPE announced the executives who would manage the new DXC, drawing from the management ranks of both CSC and HPE Enterprise Services.
