An 11-Day Winning Streak Has CGI Stock Up 19%
CGI (GIB) stock has risen for 11 consecutive trading days, gaining 19.1% over that stretch. That added about $2.7 billion to the company's market value, which now stands at about $17.1 billion. The stock closed at $82.15 on Thursday, October 22, 12.9% below its 52-week high of $94.31 and 34.3% above its low of $61.18.
The Streak Next To The S&P 500
Returns for GIB and the S&P 500 over the streak and the periods around it, all ending Thursday, October 22 and including dividends:
| Return Period | GIB | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 3.2% | -1.2% |
| 11 Days (Current Streak) | 19.1% | -1.7% |
| 1 Month (21 Trading Days) | 18.8% | -0.5% |
| 3 Months (63 Trading Days) | 23.9% | 3.7% |
| Year To Date | -10.5% | 13.0% |
| 1 Year (252 Trading Days) | -5.2% | 15.1% |
A Stock-Specific Run, Or A Market Move?
Over the same 11 trading days, the S&P 500 returned -1.7% including dividends, so the run is mostly CGI's own story rather than the market's. Over the past three months the stock is up 23.9%, a window that includes the streak; over the other 52 sessions of that window it was up 4.0%.
Do The Fundamentals Support The Run?
On the fundamentals, revenue grew 5.7% over the last twelve months, against a median of 17.9% for S&P 500 Information Technology stocks; its operating margin is 16.4%, versus a median of 21.6%; and the stock trades at 9.8 times trailing earnings against a median of 33.7. The read is mixed: a multiple below the median on one side, revenue growth below the median and margins below the median on the other.
If you are looking for strength with more behind it than a hot tape, our Guidance Momentum screen surfaces the names where management raised its own outlook.
Prefer the theme to the single name? A technology ETF like XLK holds the whole group, not just this stock. It is still a concentrated bet on one theme, which is the gap the portfolio below is built to close.
One Hot Stock Is A Story. Thirty Sound Ones Are A Strategy
A streak like this earns a place on your watchlist, and it also earns a question: how much of your outcome do you want depending on one company keeping this up?
The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio answers it with breadth: roughly 30 businesses picked for consistent cash generation, strong margins, and balance-sheet strength, sized and rebalanced by rules. It has a track record of outpacing a benchmark that combines the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400, and the Russell 2000. Follow the story; invest in the strategy.
