Company Report

Slow and Steady, CGI Remains a Trusted IT Services Vendor Focusing on Government Clients

CGI is a leading global IT services firm, catering a bit more to governmental agencies than its peers, while providing managed IT, consulting, and IP solutions. We believe that CGI benefits from strong switching costs and intangible assets, the combination of which leads us to assign the firm a narrow economic moat rating. Despite the macroeconomic headwinds, CGI has posted steady revenues due to its 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 amongst 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 to come as they remain at a cost disadvantage to its Indian competitors.
