Let us delve deeper into the factors that have contributed to the company’s outperformance.
Growth Opportunity Paved by AI
Genpact’s Digital Smart Enterprise Process (SEP) is a patented approach that leverages AI to improve the performance of clients’ business processes. Digital SEPs reduce inefficiencies and raise process quality through advanced domain-specific digital technologies, Lean Six Sigma methodologies and experience-centric principles.
Genpact Cora, an automation-to-AI-based platform, combines the company’s proprietary automation, analytics and AI technologies into a single common platform, accelerating clients’ digital transformations. We are bullish on Genpact’s performance to move up the trajectory on the back of future AI advancements.
Balance Sheet Bolsters Liquidity
Genpact’s cash and equivalent balance was $517 million at the end of the second quarter of 2026 against a current debt of $26 million. Having said that, it is further bolstered by $72 million in operating cash during the second quarter of 2026 against an operating cash outflow of $24 million in the preceding quarter. Similarly, FCF recovered to $62 million from the previous quarter’s negative FCF of $47 million.

During the second quarter of 2026, Genpact enhanced its cash position, which enhanced its liquidity. This is further justified by its current ratio of 2, substantially above the industry benchmark of 1.52. A current ratio of more than 1 often indicates that the company will be able to easily pay off its short-term obligations.
