Sales of software and hardware account for nine tenths of turnover, though margins for computer services are higher.

Sema

Article Abstract:

Sema is an information technology company which has seen a rise in its stock price since Dec 1998. The stock price rise assumes 20% annual earnings growth to 2007. This could be achieved, but there are risks that it may not be. Sales growth will be needed to boost earnings growth and there is no guarantee that growth rates will continue until 2007. Sema's organic growth was 14% in 1997 though total sales growth was 35%, including acquisitions. Operating margins rose to 5.9%, but this is less than some of the company's rivals.
