Update: Existing solutions business accelerates in Q4

GFT Group had an excellent FY14, with organic revenue growth of 16% and operating margin expansion of 220bp. The group’s traditional solutions business picked up pace in Q4, with organic revenue growth of 25%, up from 24% in Q3. GFT is not seeing any slowdown in its core markets, although we note that investment banks can cut their IT budgets at short notice. Hence, we are conservatively upgrading our forecasts in line with management guidance. The valuation continues to look attractive at c 15x our FY16e earnings if management can sustain the growth momentum.
