Description: SOP Sopra Steria January 10, 2026
Sopra Steria Group SA (ticker SOP) is a French-headquartered provider of consulting, digital, and software-development services, operating across Europe and select global markets. Its portfolio spans digital-transformation consulting, AI, blockchain, cloud, IoT, 5G design, industrial-metaverse, intelligent-process-automation, systems integration, infrastructure management, and cybersecurity, as well as niche software solutions for HR, property-management, and information-warfare.
The firm also runs business-process services, including multi-function shared-services centers, finance & administration, and industry-specific operations such as police-control-room management, compliance for financial services, and customer-service platforms for large utilities. Its client base covers aerospace & defense, energy & utilities, financial services, insurance, government, retail, telecom, media, and transport.
Key financial and market metrics (as of FY 2024) include ≈ €5.0 bn of revenue, a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~4 % driven by strong demand for digital-transformation projects, and an operating margin of roughly 7 % after a recent cost-optimization program. The company’s order-backlog sits at about €1.2 bn, indicating a multi-quarter pipeline that is roughly 24 % of annual revenue-a useful gauge of near-term visibility.
Sector-level drivers that materially affect Sopra Steria are (1) the EU’s “Digital Europe” policy, which earmarks €7.5 bn for AI, cybersecurity, and high-performance computing, (2) the accelerating shift of large enterprises toward cloud-native and “as-a-service” models, and (3) sustained public-sector IT spending, especially in defense and public-safety domains where the firm holds several long-term contracts.
Given the blend of stable public-sector revenues and expanding commercial digital-services demand, the stock’s valuation appears sensitive to macro-economic trends in IT spending and to the firm’s ability to convert backlog into billings without margin erosion.
