Signal & Stack Q1 2026

ComCap's quarterly research report covering the Tech Services & Digital Engineering sector. It analyzes Q1 2026 earnings across 14 public companies (Accenture, Capgemini, CI&T, Coforge, Cognizant, Endava, EPAM, EXL, Genpact, Globant, Grid Dynamics, Mphasis, Persistent, and Wipro), identifying six structural themes reshaping the industry: agentic AI at scale, legacy modernization, pricing model reinvention, mega-deal momentum, BFSI as the leading growth vertical, and talent pyramid flattening. The central thesis is that the sector is bifurcating — firms with productized AI platforms are growing at 15–25% versus 7–10% for the broader peer group — and that commercial models are permanently shifting toward outcome-based economics.
