Capgemini raised its sales forecast to as much as 9.5% this year. It also has 5,900 fewer staff than in January.
The French IT services group Capgemini now expects sales growth of 9% to 9.5% this year at constant exchange rates.
It published the new range with its third-quarter results on 30 October. Third-quarter revenue was €6,073 million, up 12.6% as reported and 11.7% at constant exchange rates.
Acquisitions supply around 5 points of the year's growth, the company says. Applications & Technology is its largest business, with 63% of 2025 revenue. It grew 3.5%.
Headcount was 417,500 on 30 September. That is 62,800 more than a year earlier, mostly staff from WNS, an outsourcer it bought. It is also 5,900 fewer than at the end of 2025. The release does not say why the number fell.
Its cash-flow target allows for around €200 million more restructuring cash outflow than in 2025, tied to its Fit-for-Growth plan. Chief executive Aiman Ezzat said clients are now focused on deploying AI at enterprise scale while "addressing challenges related to governance, cost and security."
The forecast went up while the workforce shrank by about 1.4% in nine months. The release names neither the roles nor the countries.
