Capgemini: Invest Securities still a buyer

(CercleFinance.com) - The analyst believes that while Q3 was just below expectations, it above all bettered the cautious message about the end of 2024 and 2025, as punished yesterday (-6%).


While the trend in the Financial Services and Technology sectors is improving, the sharp deterioration in the Manufacturing sector is weighing on us. With EPS 2024-26e revised by -2.5%/-5.7%/-3.8%, the investment thesis on CapGemini is not called into question, the broker says.

The resilience of profitability and FCF should even be highlighted. However, the improvement in organic growth, the stock's main catalyst, has once again been pushed back a few quarters, Invest Securities adds.

While we remain convinced that Capgemini has one of the highest growth profiles among European NSEs, its realisation will have to wait.

Invest Securities reiterates its Buy opinion with an unchanged target price of E240.
