Capgemini reported Q3 2026 revenues of €6,073 million on October 30, 2026, marking a 11.7% increase at constant exchange rates. The strong quarterly momentum prompted Chief Executive Officer Aiman Ezzat and the group to raise their full-year 2026 revenue growth target to between 9.0% and 9.5%.

The Capgemini Group delivered a solid performance through the third quarter of 2026, outpacing the broader industry amid a stable demand environment. Total revenues reached €6,073 million for the three-month period ending September 30, 2026, representing a 12.6% increase at current exchange rates and an 11.7% rise at constant exchange rates. This quarterly acceleration lifted total group revenues for the first nine months of the year to €18,155 million, up 11.4% on a constant currency basis.

Third-Quarter Bookings Rise as 2026 Revenue Targets Increase

Commercial activity remained strong alongside top-line growth. Total bookings for the third quarter hit €5,401 million, registering a 3.4% increase at constant exchange rates.

While operating margin expectations remained unchanged at 13.6% to 13.8% and organic free cash flow projections held steady around €1.8 billion to €1.9 billion, the revenue growth target received an upgrade. Management now expects constant currency revenue growth of 9.0% to 9.5% for the full year 2026, improving upon the previous forecast of roughly 8.5% to 9.0%.
