What’s next for technology consulting & services?
Investor appetite for the technology consulting and services market remains strong. As the market tightens, advantage is shifting to firms with clear specialization, repeatable delivery and earnings resilience through 2026.
Technology consulting & services continues to benefit from long-term digital and data demand. As the market matures, client expectations are sharpening - with greater focus on outcomes, pricing discipline and delivery quality.
As the sector moves through 2026, performance across the sector is increasingly differentiated. Firms with clear specialization, repeatable delivery models and pricing discipline are proving more resilient. Elsewhere, margin pressure is exposing operating models built for rapid scale in a more selective demand environment.
In a joint webinar with JEGI LEONIS, we examine what these shifts mean for the year ahead, building on insights from our report Technology Consulting & Services: The Investment Opportunity and recent transaction experience across the sector.
Taken together, the report and the discussion point to a more selective value-creation landscape. For investors, the emphasis is moving beyond headline growth toward the durability, quality and defensibility of earnings.
