Current thesis

The best near-term bull argument is that Q1 showed credible demand signals underneath the macro noise: bookings rose 21%, Financial Services led segment growth, large-deal activity strengthened, and management raised full-year adjusted operating margin guidance. If Project Leap savings and Astreya integration improve mix without hurting delivery, the stock can rerate from a low-growth services frame toward a cleaner AI-enabled productivity story.
