Feb 26 (Reuters) - French IT group Sopra Steria SOPR.PA posted a 2.2% drop in full-year revenue on Thursday, within its guidance range of a 2.5% decline to 0.5% growth, as the group returned to growth in the fourth quarter.

The full-year revenue came in at 5.65 billion euros ($6.68 billion). For 2026, the group targets organic revenue growth of between 1.0% and 2.0%.

The group was approaching 2026 with "a clear path", targeting a lasting return to growth as it seeks to position itself as a European alternative to global operators, CEO Rajesh Krishnamurthy said.

Sopra Steria, which provides consulting, digital services, and technology solutions to defence, aeronautics, and the public sector, said the vast majority of its key accounts launched one or more artificial intelligence projects involving the group in 2025, with the number of clients in France launching AI projects rising 44%.
