CGI’s Growth Prospects Remain Bright

CGI Group’s shares have returned 22.7% in the past year compared with the Zacks Computer Services industry’s increase of 22.5%. The uptick can be attributed to the successful launch of CGI Machine Vision, showcasing CGI Group’s innovative strides in leveraging AI for advanced asset and infrastructure monitoring solutions.

GIB’s expanding customer base and portfolio strength are expected to drive its top-line growth. It has been selected by the likes of the City of Dallas, U.S. Strategic Command, Scotiabank, and Alimentation Couche-Tard in recent times.

CGI’s momentum continues as it recently secured a contract with the Virginia Department of Social Services to modernize its Child Support Enforcement system, deploying CGI Transcend for Child Support. This platform-based solution enhances efficiency and outcomes through innovative technology and data-driven insights.

GIB’s strong partner base, which includes Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) , Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) and Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) , has been a key catalyst.

In collaboration with Alphabet’s Google Cloud, CGI is set to launch the UNIDO Sustainability Planet Platform.

CGI has been a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA). This new partnership with MISA gives CGI access to Microsoft's security product line, allowing it to provide clients with higher value and comprehensive security.

Expanding portfolio has been a key growth driver. Aligning with this commitment to cloud technology, CGI launched a cloud-ready enterprise payments solution, CGI All Payments, on Amazon's cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), in November. This partnership with Amazon streamlines payment procedures for banks and offers scalability, ISO 20022 standards compliance, and cloud-based delivery.

CGI’s Outlook Strong

CGI benefits from its proximity-based business model that combines its worldwide network of experts and capabilities with local accountability and end-to-end services for clients. However, the Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) company is suffering from a challenging macroeconomic environment.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter fiscal 2024 revenues is pegged at $2.59 billion, indicating 2.07% year-over-year growth. The consensus estimate for first-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.31 per share, indicating 7.38% year-over-year growth.
