Company Report

CGI's Short-Term Revenue Growth Is Slowing, but Our Long-Term View Is Unchanged

CGI is a leading global IT-services firm, catering a bit more to governmental agencies than its peers, providing managed IT, consulting, and intellectual property solutions. We believe that CGI benefits from strong switching costs and intangible assets, which lead us to assign the firm a narrow economic moat rating. Despite the macroeconomic headwinds, CGI has posted steady revenue due to long-term contracts with many of its clients. We think such stability will continue with the help of CGI’s switching costs and intangible assets, which both work to create stickiness among existing customers.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

CGI has an outsize presence in the government vertical, which could lead to further growth if government agencies place increasing importance on total investment in IT needs.

Bears

CGI's lower offshore leverage could affect its bottom line for years as it remains at a cost disadvantage to Indian competitors.
