Bulls Say

  • SGS is in a strong position to benefit from structural growth trends in the TIC market, including more regulation, greater demand for sustainability, and increased outsourcing.

  • The company's revamped bolt-on acquisition strategy will strengthen its solid global market position.

  • SGS' diversified revenue base makes it well equipped to weather adverse economic cycles.

Bears Say

  • Currency has been a significant drag on performance over the past five years and could continue diminishing profits compared with competitors.

  • Investors are optimistic about a new CEO, but the revamped acquisition strategy comes with increased risk.

  • Following a period of muted acquisitions relative to its peers, SGS is no longer far and away the largest in the industry, reducing any advantages of scale.
