CI&T is a technology services company that helps large businesses build and improve software. It works with companies in industries like banking, retail, and consumer goods, writing code and designing digital tools so those businesses can serve their customers better online. Founded in Brazil, CI&T is one of the larger technology services firms to come out of Latin America.

CI&T makes money by charging clients fees for its teams of software engineers and designers, usually through long-term service contracts. It operates mainly in Brazil, the United States, and Europe, with most of its workforce based in lower-cost locations like Brazil, which helps keep its margins competitive. The company's main growth driver is winning more business from large global companies that want to outsource digital development, but its main risk is that it competes against much larger firms like Accenture and Wipro, which have bigger sales teams and deeper client relationships.

Growth + cash flow

CI&T is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 23%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
