Genpact saw its share price drop to a 52-week low of $28.78 on May 14. Wall Street is concerned the company’s business will be hurt by the rise of artificial intelligence. Fears were further fueled by Genpact’s first quarter earnings report, which revealed revenue of $1.2 billion, down from the prior year’s $1.3 billion.
Genpact is leaning into AI by helping businesses adopt the technology. Rice Hall James & Associates may believe this strategic move will pay off, and with the drop in share price, decided to raise its stake in the company.
Genpact’s price-to-earnings ratio of 10 is at a low point for the past year. This suggests shares are attractively-priced, making now a good time to buy if you believe the company’s AI strategy can deliver business growth over the long term.
