Robert Bamberger's questions to Concentrix Corp (CNXC) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Robert Bamberger of Baird inquired about the specific reasons for the Q2 operating margin miss relative to guidance and sought to understand the confidence in the second-half growth acceleration.
Answer
President & CEO Chris Caldwell clarified that the margin shortfall was a strategic decision to retain labor for key clients who temporarily paused projects in April due to tariffs, a move that has already generated goodwill and new business. CFO Andre Valentine added that FX had a smaller impact. Regarding H2 confidence, Valentine cited the ramp-up of new business signed this year and additional market share gains as key drivers for the expected acceleration.
