Genpact (G) is back in focus after a busy update, combining Q4 results that exceeded Wall Street expectations with 2026 guidance, a higher quarterly dividend, and ongoing share repurchases.
See our latest analysis for Genpact.
Even with the strong Q4 print, 2026 guidance and a higher dividend, Genpact's recent share price performance has been weak, with a 30 day share price return of 21.95% decline and a 1 year total shareholder return of 33.64% decline. This suggests momentum has been fading despite the fresh focus on AI led offerings and buybacks.
If this update has you reassessing service and AI related names, it could be worth scanning the 59 profitable AI stocks that aren't just burning cash as a way to spot other cash generating AI exposed businesses.
So with Genpact guiding to higher earnings, lifting its dividend and continuing buybacks while the share price has retreated, is the market offering a discount or already pricing in the company’s future AI led growth?
Genpact's most followed narrative puts fair value at about $48.82 per share versus the last close at $36.31. This frames the current pullback as a sizeable gap to that estimate.
Genpact's strong pipeline, particularly in high-growth verticals like high tech, manufacturing, and financial services, combined with increasing large-deal activity and stable operating leverage, sets the stage for above-sector-average revenue and EPS growth, aided by operating margin expansion and continued return of capital to shareholders.
Curious what earnings trajectory and margin profile sit behind that valuation gap? The narrative leans on steady top line progress, firmer profitability and a future P/E that stays below many service peers.
Result: Fair Value of $48.82 (UNDERVALUED)

However, that 21.9% 30 day share price decline and management’s own comments on muted demand and slower legacy services show how easily this upbeat narrative could be knocked off course.
