CGI Group (A)

No longer owns it. Are better options. See his top picks. The old CEO used to do big acquisitions, so growth isn't as dramatic. Still a great company, and don't sell it.

TOP PICK
CGI Group (A)

One of the largest IT services companies in the world. Public and private sectors, many industries. Revenues: US (30%), Canada (15%), Europe (the rest). 70% of revenues from long-term, recurring contracts or from government. Investing in AI offerings. No dividend.

Well run. Proven track record. Grows organically and inorganically. Good rate of return, ROE is twice that of your typical Canadian company. He's OK adding at all-time highs.

BUY
CGI Group (A)

A fine company. Revenue is growing 11% and EPS 16%. The one issue is 65-70% of their business comes from two sectors--government and financials, and a third comes from the US. They've bought fine companies though. The AI boom will lead to companies needing consulting, which benefits CGI.

SELL
CGI Group (A)

Growth rate of 8.6% is fine, trading around 17x 2024 earnings. Quality name. Solid pipeline of government contracts. Macro pressure caused Q3 miss. Near its highs. Likes it longer term, but he'd be selling in a registered account to buy some of the beaten-down names.

BUY
CGI Group (A)

They are IT consultants and the company is one of their largest positions. It is always buying back stock or distributing some cash to shareholders. Along with increased margins it is at a good valuation, so a good time to buy. It is globally diversified, growing very well by acquisition, and gives a high return on invested capital.

TOP PICK
CGI Group (A)

Pressure for companies to increase efficiency, and this is achieved through digitization. In the sweet spot of IT outsourcing and consulting. Attractive valuation and free cashflow yield. Phenomenal compounder and allocators of capital, so lack of dividend doesn't bother him. No dividend.

(Analysts’ price target is $153.38)

HOLD
CGI Group (A)

Good results, but a cautious tone on the conference call. Possible cutback in IT spending. In the right place at the right time. Riding the AI trend. Not really that expensive. He plans to own it for a long time.

COMMENT
CGI Group (A)

Has done well. More of a smaller, niche company. It's a matter of size and how you want to allocate exposure. CSU is his only software company, other than in the US. He likes the US because of the broader diversification to be had.

WEAK BUY
CGI Group (A)

Initially chose it because it was undervalued compared to peers, saw growth potential organically and through acquisition. Has added verticals and geographic scope. Canada is only 20-30% of revenues, rest is global. Management has disciplined approach to acquisitions. Strong balance sheet. Valuation's increased, deserved due to higher margins. Still cheaper than ACN.

Drawbacks include no dividend and founder-controlled.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
CGI Group (A)

Very well run. Very strong as of late. 3-year earnings growth is quite strong. Driven by trend to digitization. With increased labour costs, pressure on companies to use technology. Wonderful business. Valuation is above his buy price, add on a pullback.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
CGI Group (A)

Has long owned this defensive tech name. Shares are catching up after Covid. Outsourcing and consulting are their businesses. The former is doing very well; targeting 70% of revenues in this business. Consulting amounts to helping businesses digitize and cybersecurity; growing well too. The PE is higher now, but compared to Accenture is a discount. Don't chase it. Pays no dividend.
