CGI

CGI is a Canadian IT services and consulting company based in Montreal. It sells consulting, systems integration, managed IT and business process services, and its own software, to governments, banks, insurers, manufacturers, retailers, utilities and health care organizations. About 94,000 consultants and professionals worked for CGI at September 30, 2026. It works in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, and the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia together give nearly half of its revenue.

Many of its contracts are long-term managed services contracts, and its backlog was $32.07 billion, or 1.9 times annual revenue, at September 30, 2026. Revenue was $16.57 billion in fiscal 2026 and $4.15 billion in Q4 fiscal 2026. Its fiscal year ends on September 30, and it reports in Canadian dollars.

The market prices CGI for slow growth and for the fear that AI tools will lower the amount of IT services work that clients buy. Revenue grew only 2.2% in constant currency in fiscal 2026, down from 4.6% in fiscal 2025. Investors fear that AI can do part of the coding, testing and support work that IT services firms sell by the hour or by the project. CGI also has a new CEO, Tim Hurlebaus, since May 12, 2026.

CGI's results are steady: in Q4 fiscal 2026, constant currency revenue growth rose to 2.5%, adjusted diluted EPS rose 8.5% and the book-to-bill ratio was 109.2%. For managed services, the book-to-bill ratio was 122% in the quarter. For the gap to close, three things must be true. Organic revenue growth must rise from the low single digits, as the large government awards in the backlog turn into revenue.

The adjusted EBIT margin must stay near 16%, which shows that AI does not force price cuts. CGI must keep buying back shares and making accretive acquisitions with its strong cash flow. The Q1 fiscal 2027 report, expected in early 2027, and the next quarters give the evidence. If growth picks up, the gap can close over the next four to six quarters.

The main reason it may not close is a lasting fall in demand for traditional IT services because of AI.

• AI tools can automate part of software development, testing and IT support. Clients can buy less work from IT services firms, or they can ask for lower prices.
• Organic growth is slow. Revenue grew 2.2% in constant currency in fiscal 2026 and 2.5% in Q4 fiscal 2026. If clients delay or cut projects, growth can stay low.
• Government clients give a large part of revenue and bookings. Budget cuts or changes in procurement in the United States, Canada or Europe can delay or reduce contracts.
• CGI grows partly by buying other IT services firms. A poor acquisition or a failed integration can lower margins.

CGI has low debt for its cash flow. At September 30, 2026, long-term debt and lease liabilities, including current portions, were $3.96 billion, down from $4.33 billion a year earlier. Read more
