Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • H1 2026 core services excluding Trust and Safety grew 2.3% like-for-like.
  • H1 2026 recurring EBITA margin held 13.6% despite 1.7% like-for-like revenue decline.
  • Management targets €150-170 million 2026 AI savings and €800-850 million free cash flow.

What critics are saying

  • LanguageLine and ZP Better Together face union fights, NLRB charges, and congressional scrutiny in 2026.
  • Trust and Safety revenue fell after client automation, proving AI directly cannibalizes Teleperformance work.
  • If brands move CX agents in-house, Teleperformance’s 2028 growth targets collapse.

What makes Teleperformance unique

  • Teleperformance runs 500-plus AI projects under Jorge Amar’s 2026 Future Forward plan.
  • TP.ai Data Services gained Agents Only in June 2025 and ZP Better Together in 2026.
  • Exclusive Sanas reseller rights and a $13 million equity stake deepen speech-AI capability.
