In recent years, Wavestone has pursued aggressive external growth through strategic acquisitions, including the 2023 merger with Germany's Q_PERIOR—a firm originating in 1977—to blend complementary expertise and cultures; expansions in the UK via Pen Partnership and Coeus Consulting; and in the US through Aspirant Consulting, alongside payments in 2024/25 for Q_PERIOR and Aspirant earn-outs totaling €42.5 million. The firm acquired French digital product development specialist Wivoo in 2025 to bolster its capabilities, reported strong 2024/25 fiscal results with revenue of €943.7 million (up 35%), a 12.6% recurring operating margin, and net income of €75.9 million (up 30%), followed by H1 2025/26 results showing €458.1 million in revenue, a 10.3% recurring operating margin, and a 12% rise in net profit to €30.4 million while confirming annual objectives amid improved business momentum.
