An update from Computacenter ( (GB:CCC) ) is now available.

Computacenter reported an exceptionally strong first quarter, with group performance significantly ahead of last year and above internal expectations, driven by robust Technology Sourcing revenue from hyperscale customers in North America and the UK and solid growth in Professional Services. While Managed Services revenue declined, regions such as North America and the UK delivered excellent growth, Germany posted a solid showing, and Western Europe improved slightly, all underpinned by a strong committed product order backlog helped by customers ordering early amid hardware component shortages.

Management now expects a much stronger first half than previously anticipated and, barring a notable deterioration in macroeconomic or geopolitical conditions, anticipates full-year results to come in comfortably ahead of current market expectations. The company highlighted that its integrated Technology Sourcing and Services model, together with geographic diversification, continues to support positive long-term growth prospects, reinforcing its competitive positioning despite a tougher comparative in the second half of the year.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CCC) stock is a Buy with a £3500.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Computacenter stock, see the GB:CCC Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CCC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CCC is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by solid financial strength (strong revenue growth and low leverage) but tempered by 2025 margin compression and weaker cash flow versus 2024. Technicals add near-term caution with the price below short-term moving averages, while valuation appears moderate with a supportive dividend yield.
