Q: Hi - do you have any concerns about CGI's growth with US Gov't contracts once the Dept of Elon/Vivek starts to cut "costs"?

5i Research Answer:

In its annual report, GIB.A disclosed the degree of client concentration, the company’s revenue with the U.S. federal government consisting of various agencies accounted for around 13.5% of GIB.A’s total revenue in FY2023.

The U.S. government is one of the largest customers of GIB.A. That being said, so far, DOGE is mostly just noise. Of course, there is always a risk when doing business with the government especially when companies raise prices with the government too much. We don’t think GIB.A is the target of that program, there are lots of other niches that demonstrate price-gouging behaviour rather than IT services.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if GIB.A is limited in terms of raising its capabilities with the government; we think the company can still do just fine if the other 87% of its revenue sources keep doing well.
