Comparisons with EDS and Perot Systems

The Globe & Mail's Guy Dixon suggested that a comparison between PEs is useful in assessing CGI. Let's look a little beyond the simple PE ratio and see what we find.

Here are EDS' numbers - we can see that growth rates are far, far below CGI's and in fact EDS lags its industry and sector significantly. The fact that it pays dividends is further evidence that it is not thinking seriously about future growth.

And here is news on EDS' latest financials which include declining revenue and margins, disputes and lawsuits with clients dailynews.yahoo.com

As we can see, comparing CGI with EDS is more than just a little off the mark!

Here are the (available) numbers for Perot Systems - growth rate in revenue and earnings are closer but still below CGI's, net margins only half of CGI's and yet share price (at $66) is about 3 times CGI's NYSE price.
