Turnaround for CGI's US Business Can Take Longer Than Expected

This article discusses CGI Inc.'s performance, noting that its strong exposure to government contracts leads to more stable spending patterns compared to private-sector customers. Despite experiencing slower growth during the pandemic IT boom, CGI later became one of the fastest-growing IT-services names as overall demand faded. The analyst, Luke Yang, suggests that the turnaround for CGI's US business might take longer than anticipated due to underperformance in the US segment.
