GEVORKYAN has delivered 3Q24 results that were broadly in line with our expectations.

Based on its signed long-term contracts (99% signed, out of EUR...

We continue to believe that ACP should benefit from easing pressure on salaries, AI-powered tools application and EU funds inflows into Poland. However, the profitability improvement story is unfolding mor...
