Pzena Investment Management Richard Pzena | “France-based Teleperformance is the world's leading outsourced customer experience provider. During COVID, call volumes surged, lifting valuation, but post-pandemic normalization and AI disruption fears have weighed heavily on shares, now down ~70% from 2022 highs. Pzena believes market fears are overblown: AI automation covers only routine calls (~10%), while AI's greater promise lies in augmenting human agents' productivity. Teleperformance's in-house AI solutions already serve over half its customers. Trading at ~4.5x forward earnings and >20% FCF yield, Pzena increased its stake, citing durable business demand and market share gains among scaled providers. BSD Analysis: Teleperformance is still digesting the reputational hit from past labor issues, but the underlying business remains a global CX powerhouse with unmatched scale. BPO demand is stable, margins are solid, and digital transformation is boosting higher-value segments. The Majorel acquisition strengthens geographic breadth and deepens vertical expertise. Investors can't get past the headlines, creating a major multiple gap. Teleperformance has bounced back from controversies before — and it will again. A high-cash-flow global services player trading at fear levels.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
