CPI: AI Execution And Army Training Contract Will Shape Future Returns

Analysts have reduced their Capita price target to £2.60 from £3.20, reflecting updated fair value assumptions in combination with slightly higher discount rates and modestly adjusted expectations for revenue contraction, profit margins and future P/E levels. What’s in the News for Capita Omnia Training, a consortium that includes Capita alongside Raytheon UK, Cervus, Rheinmetall UK and Skyral, has been awarded a £2,000m, 15 year contract by the UK Ministry of Defence to act as the British Army's Strategic Training Partner and deliver the Army's Collective Training Service, according to a client announcement.
