Capgemini (ENXTPA:CAP) just secured a long-term technology and AI partnership with the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme, putting the group at the center of FSCS's systems overhaul and operational priorities.
Recent price action has been strong, with Capgemini recording a 45.31% 3‑month share price return and an 18.53% 1‑month move, even though the year‑to‑date share price return is still down 11.15% and the 3‑year total shareholder return has declined 18.68%. This points to recovering momentum from a weaker longer‑term base.

Most Popular Narrative: 11% Undervalued
Capgemini's most followed narrative pegs fair value at €140.51, above the last close of €125.05. This puts the current price in clear discount territory while analysts still debate how fast AI work and restructuring can flow into earnings.
Capgemini's multiyear shift in portfolio mix toward higher value digital, cloud, and data or AI solutions is now framed around five AI related value pools. Management expects these value pools to expand the addressable technology and operations services market by about $400b by 2030, which can support revenue growth and adjusted operating margin expansion targets for 2025 to 2028.
