Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Market Valuation & Key Metrics
CINT Stock
Why The Stock Moved
Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
The approximate -22.6% movement in CI&T (CINT) stock between July 31, 2025, and November 18, 2025, can be attributed to several key factors:
1. Significant Revenue Miss in Q2 2025. On August 13, 2025, CI&T reported its second-quarter 2025 results, with revenue of $116.32 million, substantially falling short of the consensus estimate of $659.84 million. This considerable miss likely prompted a significant sell-off in the stock.
2. Q3 2025 Earnings Per Share (EPS) Missed Expectations. The company announced its third-quarter 2025 financial results on November 12, 2025, reporting diluted EPS of $0.07, which fell short of analysts' consensus estimates, ranging from $0.08 to $0.101. Despite reporting solid revenue growth that essentially met or slightly exceeded expectations, the shortfall in profitability contributed to investor caution and downward pressure on the stock.
