Reason
Jefferies downgraded CGI to Hold from Buy with a price target of $81, down from $105. The company's organic growth is lagging peers due to its greater exposure to underperforming regions and verticals, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Jefferies believes CGI's industry trends are unlikely to improve in 2026, creating downside risk to consensus estimates.
