Capgemini reported stronger third-quarter momentum on Friday, October 30, 2026, and raised its full-year revenue outlook. The company said in its Q3 2026 revenue release that sales reached 6,073 million euros, up 11.7 percent at constant exchange rates.

Higher growth target, steady margins
Third-quarter bookings rose 3.4 percent at constant exchange rates to 5,401 million euros, while nine-month revenue reached 18,155 million euros, up 11.4 percent on the same basis. Capgemini attributed the performance to underlying growth and contributions from the WNS and Cloud4C acquisitions.
Regional momentum was strongest in North America and the United Kingdom and Ireland, where constant-currency revenue increased 18.3 percent and 25.2 percent, respectively. Strategy & Transformation grew 18.6 percent, Applications & Technology advanced 3.5 percent and Operations & Engineering rose 26.9 percent.
Management raised its 2026 constant-currency revenue-growth target to 9.0 percent to 9.5 percent from 8.5 percent to 9.0 percent previously. The operating-margin target remains 13.6 percent to 13.8 percent, while the organic free-cash-flow objective stays at 1.8 billion to 1.9 billion euros.
AI demand meets execution demands
Capgemini expects constant-currency growth of 3 percent to 4 percent in the fourth quarter against a higher comparison base. The outlook includes an estimated inorganic contribution of about five percentage points, leaving acquisition integration and cost discipline important for investors.
