Capgemini's AI credentials grow, but US visa crackdown clouds talent pipeline

  • Gartner names Capgemini a Physical AI leader Gartner named Capgemini a 'Market Shaper' and 'Company to Beat' in Physical AI Services, citing its simulation-first delivery model. This recognition strengthens Capgemini's reputation in a fast-growing field, helping it win more AI projects and supporting future revenue growth.

    This is a new third-party validation of Capgemini's AI capabilities, directly boosting its competitive position.

  • Ambarella partnership expands Edge AI services Capgemini will provide engineering and integration for Ambarella's Edge AI chips, targeting smart infrastructure, retail, logistics, and more. The deal adds a new revenue stream and deepens Capgemini's AI services portfolio, reinforcing its growth story.

    This new partnership is a concrete demand driver for Capgemini's services, expanding its addressable market.

  • Buyback offsets employee share plan dilution Capgemini launched a buyback of up to 3 million shares to cancel out dilution from its employee share plan. This supports the share price by reducing the number of shares outstanding and signals confidence in the company's value.

    The buyback is a new capital return action that directly affects share count and investor sentiment.

  • US suspends Capgemini from PERM green card program The US suspended Capgemini and other IT firms from the PERM program, which helps foreign workers get green cards. This could make it harder to hire and retain skilled talent in the US, potentially raising costs and limiting growth, though existing visas are unaffected.

    This new regulatory action poses a risk to Capgemini's US talent pipeline, a key input for its services business.

Infosys Says U.S. PERM Suspension Will Have No Material Impact

Infosys said it does not expect a material impact from the U.S. government's suspension of its participation in the Permanent Labor Certification program, a key route for employers to sponsor skilled foreign workers for U.S. permanent residency. The Indian IT services company said in an exchange filing on Saturday that it welcomes the opportunity to work with the Department of Labor and related government agencies to answer any questions they may have. The U.S. government announced the suspension on Thursday, affecting several major technology and IT services firms, including Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL Technologies, Cognizant, Microsoft, Adobe and Capgemini. The affected companies will be unable to submit new PERM applications or have pending applications processed under the suspension. The move forms part of the Trump administration's broader crackdown on skilled foreign labour, with U.S. officials alleging that some companies used the program to replace American workers with lower-cost foreign employees. PERM is separate from the H-1B temporary work visa program, and the suspension does not appear to directly affect existing H-1B visa holders.

Trump Awards Science Medals to Musk, Nadella and Four Other Tech Titans Hours After Vance Targets Them

The Trump administration suspended the PERM green-card labor certification program for Microsoft and other companies on October 8, the same day President Donald Trump awarded top science medals to six tech billionaires, five of whom are immigrants. Vice President JD Vance, speaking at the White House that morning as chair of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, accused Microsoft of abusing the H-1B and PERM programs more than any other U.S. company and said the government had decided to suspend the PERM program for Microsoft due to an ongoing investigation. The suspension also affects Adobe and six IT outsourcing firms: Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Capgemini. Microsoft pushed back, saying it only files H-1B petitions for those who meet the visa category's rigorous standards, while India called Vance's comments deeply offensive as USCIS data showed 70% of H-1B petition beneficiaries approved in FY 2025 were born in India. Later that day, Trump awarded the National Medal of Science to Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, Jensen Huang and Lisa Su, and the National Medal of Technology and Innovation to Satya Nadella and Michael Dell. The PERM suspension does not stop the companies from applying for H-1B visas, but the administration added a $100,000 fee to each new H-1B petition in September 2025, up from the prior $2,000 to $5,000 range; federal courts blocked and vacated the fee in June and September 2026, and the government is appealing.

Trump Administration Suspends Microsoft, Adobe and IT Firms From PERM Green Card Program

The Trump administration is suspending Microsoft, Adobe and the IT outsourcing firms Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini from the Permanent Labor Certification Program, or PERM, which allows companies to sponsor foreign workers for green cards, with pending applications also set to be rejected. At an October 8 White House press conference, Vice President JD Vance singled out Microsoft as a major abuser of the program, saying the company laid off 6,000 American workers last year while still applying for 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards. "You cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with foreign indentured servants," Vance said. Microsoft responded in a blog post that 80% of the 6,000 H-1B applications it filed last year were to extend or change the status of employees already at the company, and that the remaining 20%, for new employees, covered people already legally in the country and equaled 1% of its U.S. workforce. The company added that it pays H-1B employees the same as any other employees doing comparable work, and that its wages are among the highest of all H-1B filings. In the same press conference, Vance and other administration officials named nine universities — Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of California, Davis, the California Institute of Technology, Arizona State and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — for excessive use of J-1 visas, a day after the administration proposed a $70,000 fee for international students seeking to work in the U.S.

India Rebukes U.S. Suspension of Microsoft, Indian Firms from PERM Program

India criticized the Trump administration's decision to suspend the Permanent Labor Certification program, calling it contrary to the shared ambitions of the two countries, according to a foreign ministry statement on Friday. The U.S. government on Thursday suspended multiple companies from using the Program Electronic Review Management system, as Vice President JD Vance called out rampant fraud in the H-1B visa program by the tech industry. Vance singled out Microsoft, saying no U.S. company had abused the system more, and the suspensions also target Cognizant, Infosys, Wipro, Adobe, HCL and Capgemini, firms either based in India or with large operations there. India described Vance's comments as unwarranted and said terminology carrying painful historical and colonial legacy connotations was deeply offensive, while its Ministry of External Affairs said talent mobility adds value to both economies. The suspension does not affect existing H-1B visas but could disrupt permanent residency and green card applications.

Trump Administration Bars Microsoft From US Green Card Sponsorship Programme

The Trump administration has banned Microsoft from an immigration programme for foreign workers, accusing the company of replacing American employees with overseas staff. The White House said Microsoft, Adobe and several other large IT firms would be blocked from sponsoring staff on work visas for permanent residency, with the ban also applying to IT-outsourcing firms Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, Capgemini and HCL. Vice President JD Vance accused the tech giant of replacing American-born employees with "foreign indentured servants" and committing "fraud", saying Microsoft laid off 6,000 US workers while hiring 6,300 workers on H1-B visas and sponsoring 3,000 green cards. Labour Secretary Keith Sonderling said the suspensions resulted from "multiple active federal investigations" and that some companies had become "visa mills". The announcement came on the same day that President Donald Trump was set to award Satya Nadella, the chief executive of Microsoft, the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the country's highest honour for technological achievement.

Capgemini Launches Buyback of Up to 3.0 Million Shares to Offset 2026 ESOP Dilution

Capgemini SE has entered into a share buyback agreement to neutralize the shareholder dilution from its thirteenth Employee Share Ownership Plan, the company announced on October 6, 2026. Under the agreement with an investment services provider that is also structuring the ESOP, Capgemini has undertaken to repurchase up to 3.0 million of its own shares at a maximum average buyback price of 200 euros per share, for cancellation. The buyback is separate from the €2 billion multi-year envelope announced on July 30, 2025, and follows the September 10, 2026 launch of the ESOP and the Board of Directors' authorization of a dedicated buyback envelope. The repurchase will be completed before December 17, 2026, when the ESOP capital increase reserved for employees takes effect, adding a maximum of 3.0 million shares, or 1.77% of existing share capital, with no material impact on the Group's cash position and no significant dilution of existing shareholders. Buyback transactions under the agreement will cease no later than November 4, 2026, with the price per share calculated on the volume-weighted average daily share prices over a maximum of 20 trading days starting October 8, 2026.

Banks Risk Losing $230 Billion in Payments Revenue to Stablecoins, Capgemini Report Warns

Banks risk losing $230 billion in payments revenue as stablecoins, tokenized deposits and central bank digital currencies move from experimentation to commercialization, according to the Capgemini Research Institute's World Payments Report 2027. The report projects these instruments will account for approximately 4% of global payments volume by 2030, eroding high-margin revenue streams such as foreign exchange spreads, correspondent banking, float income and transaction processing fees. Widespread adoption could unlock as much as USD 4 trillion currently trapped in settlement and liquidity accounts, while nearly 60% of corporate clients say they are willing to source stablecoin services from non-bank providers if their banking partners fail to keep pace. Banks identify tokenized deposits as their top near-term priority, yet only 21% of banks, classified as leaders, are actively scaling at least one accelerated intelligent money instrument, while the remaining 79% are still evaluating their position. Jeroen Hölscher, Global Head of Payment Services at Capgemini, said the industry is entering its most significant period of disruption since the emergence of digital banking, and that with $230 billion at stake banks must decide what role they want to play in the emerging ecosystem.

Capgemini Study Finds 68% of Executives Prioritize Climate Adaptation as Net Zero Gaps Widen

A new Capgemini Research Institute report finds that 68% of executives now say their organization actively prioritizes climate adaptation, up from 56% in 2025, yet only 15% have fully quantified the financial impact of climate-related disruptions. The fifth edition of A World in Balance: The resilience reset, based on a survey of 2,100 executives at 701 organizations with more than $1 billion in annual revenue across 13 countries, also shows the share of organizations falling behind on net zero goals rising to 11% in 2026 from 1% in 2025, with 29% saying they have postponed their net zero objectives, compared with just 8% last year. Nearly nine in 10 organizations report climate-related supply-chain disruptions, and more than seven in 10 executives say securing access to critical resources such as energy, water and materials now influences sustainability decisions more than emissions-reduction targets. Sustainability spending reached 1.04% of revenue last year, above the 0.8% initially allocated, and 83% of organizations plan to increase climate adaptation spending over the next 12 to 18 months. Cyril Garcia, Global head of Sustainability services and Corporate Responsibility at Capgemini, said climate disruptions have become the new normal and that leaders can no longer defer climate action.

Capgemini to sell US government unit to ITC Federal after ICE backlash

Capgemini said on Saturday it had entered into an agreement to sell its US subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions, to ITC Federal, a US provider of IT solutions and enterprise services to federal law enforcement, homeland security and defence agencies. The French IT giant put the subsidiary up for sale in February following controversy over a contract to supply US Immigration and Customs Enforcement with a tool designed to identify and locate foreign nationals. Capgemini said the transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks. The subsidiary represented 0.4 percent of the group's global 2025 revenue and less than two percent of its US revenue. Capgemini operates in about 50 countries and is one of France's largest listed companies.

Capgemini launches thirteenth employee share ownership plan

The plan will be implemented through a capital increase reserved for Capgemini employees for a maximum of 3,000,000 shares, equal to 1.77% of outstanding shares, and is intended to maintain employee shareholding at around 8% of Capgemini SE's share capital as the 2021 ESOP reaches its term at the end of the year. The Board of Directors of Capgemini SE, at its meeting of June 10 and 11, 2026, authorized a dedicated share buyback envelope, distinct from the €2 billion multi-year share buyback program announced on July 30, 2025, which could be used within the next 12 months to neutralize all or part of the dilutive effect of the capital increase. The reservation period will run from September 11 to 30, 2026, followed by a subscription and revocation period from November 10 to 13, 2026, with the subscription price set on November 5, 2026, and the capital increase completed on December 17, 2026.

Capgemini and LIMRA Report Finds 42% of Consumers Confused by Life Insurance Policies

A new report from the Capgemini Research Institute and LIMRA finds that 42% of consumers are confused, uncertain, or unconvinced by the life insurance information they encounter, with one in four dropping out of the purchase journey before completion. The World Life Insurance Report 2027, which surveyed more than 6,100 consumers worldwide, identifies overly technical language at 37%, affordability concerns at 35%, and a perceived lack of relevance to life stage at 25% as the top reasons people walk away. While 51% of consumers plan to use generative AI tools to research and compare products, two-thirds still prefer working with a human advisor to finalize coverage, and 85% want advisor interaction at some point in their journey. The report also finds that nearly 40% of policyholders rarely hear from their insurer after purchase, and half of those who discontinue coverage do so within the first three years. Best-in-class insurers, representing only 10% of all carriers, achieved 41% higher revenue growth over the past three years and 12% lower lapse rates than mainstream peers by combining consumer-led strategies with intelligence-powered operations.

Ambarella Reports 13.2% Revenue Growth, Signs 7-Year Channel Deals

Ambarella reported fiscal second-quarter 2027 revenue of $108.1 million, up 13.2% from $95.5 million a year earlier, with record edge-AI revenue driven by growth in automotive and IoT markets and strong demand for its 5-nanometer CV75 and CV72 systems-on-chip. However, GAAP gross margin declined to 57.7% from 58.9%, and non-GAAP gross margin fell to 59.3% from 60.5%, while company-defined non-GAAP net income rose to $8.2 million from $6.4 million, aided by a $9.0 million project-termination credit. The company also signed seven-year agreements with distributor Macnica and engineering firm Capgemini to expand its indirect sales channel, and introduced its first stand-alone AI accelerator, the X7. Third-quarter guidance calls for revenue of $115 million to $124 million and non-GAAP gross margin of 59.0% to 60.0%, suggesting potential stabilization. Despite the growth, Ambarella recorded a GAAP operating loss of $8.1 million and a net loss of $6.7 million, with stock-based compensation of $22.7 million exceeding non-GAAP net income, and the company holds $272.3 million in cash and marketable securities.

Eight leading companies, including Capgemini, BPCE, Gecina, Malakoff Humanis and Macif, have adopted Wiztrust Blueprint GEO, a solution designed to actively manage their visibility in generative AI responses. The launch comes as Gartner expects PR budgets to double by 2027 with the rise of generative AI. The solution, developed with GetMint, measures the gap between how large language models portray a brand and how the brand wants to be seen, then adjusts PR strategy accordingly. Wiztrust's 2026 study of all 40 CAC 40 newsrooms shows its clients achieve a visibility score of 77.3 out of 100, 31% higher than the market average of 58.8, and 80% of Wiztrust newsrooms are cited as a source by AI. According to Muck Rack's May 2026 study, 84% of AI citations come from the media, underscoring that AI visibility is earned first through media coverage.

AI accelerates electricity demand, prompting a new wave of grid adaptation and investment

The rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers is increasing electricity demand and making it significantly harder to predict, according to a new report from the Capgemini Research Institute. Nearly 80% of utilities expect more extreme and volatile demand patterns, while over three-quarters struggle to forecast future needs accurately. Around one in five data center power requests may never materialize, distorting forecasts and creating a capital allocation dilemma. At the same time, 60% of utilities expect AI to play a growing role in improving grid efficiency, but only 16% have implemented advanced AI-driven approaches. The report also finds that 68% of electricity executives anticipate shortages due to data-center demand outpacing supply, and more than half identify load concentration as a major obstacle to reliable service.
