Description: SOP Sopra Steria November 07, 2025
Sopra Steria Group SA (ticker SOP) is a French-headquartered consultancy that delivers end-to-end digital transformation services, ranging from AI, blockchain, cloud, IoT, 5G design, industrial metaverse, and intelligent process automation to systems integration, infrastructure management, and cybersecurity. Its portfolio also includes niche software solutions (HR, property-management, information-warfare) and managed business-process services for functions such as finance, HR, and industry-specific operations (e.g., police control rooms, utility customer service).
The firm’s client base spans aerospace & defense, energy & utilities, financial services, government, retail, telecom, media, and transport, reflecting a diversified revenue mix across both public-sector contracts (which tend to be longer-term and less cyclical) and commercial enterprises that are accelerating digital spend.
From publicly available filings, Sopra Steria generated roughly €4.7 billion in revenue for FY 2023, with an operating margin near 6 % and a backlog of over €1 billion-metrics that suggest a stable earnings base but also expose the company to margin pressure from rising labor costs in Europe. The French IT services market is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~5 % through 2029, driven by EU digital-economy initiatives and increasing adoption of AI-enabled solutions, which are core to Sopra Steria’s growth narrative.
