Computacenter (GB00BV9FP302) is sharpening its North American profile after announcing the acquisition of US federal IT reseller Government Acquisitions Inc. for up to $92 million, in a move closely watched on the London Stock Exchange where the group trades under ticker CCC in the FTSE 250.The acquisition details were outlined in a London regulatory announcement on 28 May 2026.
What the GAI acquisition adds
The Government Acquisitions Inc. deal gives Computacenter a specialist reseller with a long-standing focus on US federal agencies, including civilian and defense customers, expanding the group’s reach beyond its existing US commercial and state-level base.Reuters highlighted that the agreed consideration is up to $92 million, payable in cash.
According to the regulatory filing, GAI generated around $260 million of gross billings in its most recent financial year, primarily from hardware and software technology sourcing for federal customers, which complements Computacenter’s existing Technology Sourcing core.Management stated that the transaction is expected to be earnings enhancing in the first full year.
North America now a larger growth pillar
North America has been a key driver for Computacenter in recent years, with the January 2026 pre-close update flagging a 31 percent increase in 2025 reported revenue and particularly strong growth in Technology Sourcing and the US business.In that update the group said adjusted profit before tax for 2025 should be at least £270 million, comfortably ahead of a £253.6 million market consensus.
Peers such as US-based CDW, Insight Enterprises and European player Bechtle follow similar value-added reseller and managed services models, and some analysts see Computacenter still trading at a valuation discount to these comparables despite its international expansion.Overview data from Bitget notes that the stock sits in the FTSE 250 and operates in the IT services and solutions segment.
