Quarter Snapshot
Revenue grew 12.90% YoY in INR (+4.3% USD) but constant-currency growth of 1.7% QoQ fell below the 2.7% CQGR implied by management's 6-7% CY26 guidance, leaving Q4 needing +16.1% to +20.3% YoY. Reported PAT growth of 16.09% YoY is substantially tax- and earnout-assisted; normalized PAT grew 6.19% YoY while working capital deteriorated (DSO 77 days, CFO/PAT 0.65x). Banking (+22.77% YoY, margin +810 bps) and H&I are the standout segments, while T&T declined and the new CEO's first call will be pivotal for the guidance trajectory.
