GIB.A: Future Returns Will Rely On Consistent Execution And Share Repurchases

Analysts have trimmed their price target on CGI to about $151 from $154, reflecting slightly lower assumed profit margins and P/E multiples, even as they factor in modestly higher revenue growth following a mix of target cuts and one increase in recent research updates.
