Paul, did any Y2K player beat +728% in 1997?

Unfortunately, Canadian CGI Group is outside briefing.com's universe but 1997 performance has been outstanding, and is the Toronto and Montreal SE's top stock for 1997.

Here's the chart which also reflects two stock splits in 1997.

Being into outsourcing, systems integration and consulting as well, it's far more than a Y2K play. You mentioned service providers with large backlogs as being particularly desirable way to play Y2K - CGI's backlog is currently over $1.3 Billion with the majority in secure, multi-year outsourcing contracts (they achieved 100% renewal rate in fiscal 1997).

All known information about the company is posted here on SI at exchange2000.com
but be forewarned, even Canadians investors are unfamilar with this one. Pity!
