CGI Narrowly Misses Our Top-Line Expectations, Reports Strong Bookings; Maintain CAD 104 FVE

Julie Bhusal Sharma Equity Analyst

Analyst Note

| Julie Bhusal Sharma |

Narrow-moat CGI reported top-line results that were narrowly below our expectations to close out the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Despite the narrow miss this quarter, the company reported solid bookings and a book/bill ratio well above 100%, underscoring CGI’s healthy business pipeline. We expect the firm to continue its steady recovery from the pandemic-induced revenue slowdowns of fiscal 2020, and with that in mind, we are maintaining our CAD 104 fair value estimate. With shares trading around CAD 105, we consider CGI shares fairly valued.

Transparency is how we protect the integrity of our work and keep empowering investors to achieve their goals and dreams. And we have unwavering standards for how we keep that integrity intact, from our research and data to our policies on content and your personal data.

We’d like to share more about how we work and what drives our day-to-day business.

We sell different types of products and services to both investment professionals and individual investors. These products and services are usually sold through license agreements or subscriptions. Our investment management business generates asset-based fees, which are calculated as a percentage of assets under management. We also sell both admissions and sponsorship packages for our investment conferences and advertising on our websites and newsletters.

How we use your information depends on the product and service that you use and your relationship with us. We may use it to:

  • Verify your identity, personalize the content you receive, or create and administer your account.

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering investor success. We provide a platform for our authors to report on investments fairly, accurately, and from the investor’s point of view. We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes. Our authors can publish views that we may or may not agree with, but they show their work, distinguish facts from opinions, and make sure their analysis is clear and in no way misleading or deceptive.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.
