Capgemini Stock: The 2028 Agentive AI Plan Causes a Nearly 3% Drop in Share Price
The digital services group's stock significantly drops in mid-afternoon trading, moving against the grain of a sharply rising CAC 40. The session coincides with the presentation of the group's strategic roadmap for 2028, focused on the deployment of agentive AI among its clients.
Market Punishes the 2028 Strategic Roadmap Presented on Wednesday
Capgemini's stock falls by 3.02% to €101.15, marking one of the steepest declines in the CAC 40 while the Paris index gains 1.09% during the session. The stock stands out in a market driven by luxury brands (Kering, L'Oréal, Hermès, LVMH).
This Wednesday, the group unveiled its strategic roadmap for 2028, based on the large-scale deployment of agentive AI. The group targets an annual compound revenue growth rate between 5.5% and 7.5% for the period from 2025 to 2028, along with a significant increase in operating margin.
The growth range is below the pace shown in the first quarter of 2026 (+11% at constant rates), published at the end of April. According to the consensus of surveyed analysts, the stock is trading at approximately 7.9 times the earnings expected for the current fiscal year and 7.3 times those of the following year.
The Decline Brings the Share Price Below Its Short-Term Moving Averages
With this downturn, the stock falls below its MM20 (€102.33) and MM50 (€102.38), with a gap of about -1.2% in both cases. The MM200 at €120.82 remains out of reach in the short term, more than 16% above the current price, confirming the underlying bearish trend, with a decline of 32.25% over the year.
The RSI at 53 remains in neutral territory, with no signs of excess. The support level at €96.70 becomes the next reference point for a downward move, while the resistance at €110.60 moves further away after this decline. The stock had regained some ground a week ago, with a surge of 4.71% to €105.65, leading the CAC 40, a gain that has since been erased.
Financially, the group placed a €800 million bond issue at seven years in early May, oversubscribed 2.7 times, aimed at refinancing a loan that matured in April. The next milestone watched by the market will be the publication of the semi-annual revenue this summer, in a context where the 2028 targets are still being assimilated.
