WOOD Flash – Sirma Group Holding: weak 1Q23, driven by revenues mix

Recently, Sirma posted a weaker set of 1Q23 earnings, driven by the revenues mix, specifically System Integration sales, with a high component of hardware resales costs. Profitability may improve in the coming quarters, but within the context of broad-based pullbacks in IT spending in the current uncertain investment environment. The business cycle notwithstanding, investors may wish to revisit the story at these levels, post the recent Sirma AI/Ontotex disposal, in our view.
