JPMorgan sees further downside potential for Teleperformance and points to risks to 2026 forecasts, after which the stock fell by up to 6%. The bank stresses that the shift to AI‑integrated services and a focus on premium customer experiences has so far not fully offset the core business.

Despite an attractive dividend yield of around 9%, there remains a dividend risk if revenues decline, debt is reduced faster, or aggressive investments are made. » More on de.investing.com
