Let’s see how things are shaping up prior to this announcement.
Factors to Note
CGI’s second-quarter fiscal 2023 performance is expected to have benefited from significant growth in its digital business operations as companies worldwide are going through a digital transformation.
CGI is experiencing a solid demand for its business solutions, as reflected from its expanding partnerships and increasing IP solutions revenues across geographies. The company has been actively investing in the creation of new business solutions to meet evolving demand.
It has been improving its existing solutions with embedded innovation and expanding its IP go-to-market strategies to drive new client interest.
CGI’s plans to increase its presence within government agencies is expected to have supported its performance. Its plans to diversify within its acquisitions by moving toward commercial space is expected to improve scalability.
However, challenging macroeconomic conditions, raging inflation and the dilutive impact of prior-year acquisitions are expected to have hurt the top line.
