Sopra Steria lifts growth target as agentic AI lands

Sopra Steria raised its 2026 organic-revenue-growth target to 2.0%–2.5%, from 1.0%–2.0%, after second-quarter underlying growth accelerated to 5.3%; its first-half results explicitly name generative and agentic AI, cybersecurity, and digital sovereignty as durable sources of new client demand. For operators, this is useful revenue-side evidence that enterprise AI spending is reaching the implementation layer described in the shift from model APIs to embedded deployment, even though Sopra Steria does not isolate AI revenue.
