Over the last month, CGI has issued several updates highlighting strategic progress. These include AI alliances with OpenAI and Google Cloud, expansion of an AI-powered Fraud, Waste and Abuse Prevention Platform, and its 50th anniversary theme "Building what's next". Despite their constructive tone, four of the last five news days saw negative next-day moves, with only the Jan 21 AGM/Q1 results scheduling notice linked to a modest gain.
