CI&T Sets 2026 Revenue Outlook at $548M–$568M After AI-Fueled Q4 Growth
Management credits a larger pipeline alongside a pivot to IP-led, value-based delivery.
Overview
- Q4 revenue reached a record $134.3 million, up 19.3% organically year over year and 13.9% on a constant-currency basis, topping guidance on that measure.
- Full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $548.4 million to $568.0 million implies roughly 14% growth at the midpoint, backed by a commercial pipeline about 30% larger than last year and a Q1 revenue floor of $134.7 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin is guided to 17%–19% for 2026 after Q4 came in at 18.4%, a result management said was pressured by resumed payroll taxes in Brazil and unfavorable foreign exchange.
- CI&T highlighted its CI&T Flow platform and an agentic software development lifecycle using autonomous AI agents, with management claiming up to 20x compression of innovation cycles.
- The company was named one of 19 partners in AWS’s Generative AI Partner Innovation Alliance, finished 2025 with about 8,000 employees including an average of 6,400 AI tech professionals, converted 90.8% of adjusted EBITDA to cash, and repurchased shares.
