Widely read:
L&T Technology Services (LTTS) will report its Q1 FY26 earnings on July 16, 2025. After a strong finish to FY25, expectations are for moderate year-on-year (YoY) growth supported by a healthy pipeline of large deals. Still, investor focus will be squarely on profit margins and client spending outlook.
Revenue Momentum Holding Up
In Q4 FY25, LTTS clocked its strongest revenue growth in recent times—Rs 2,982 crore, up 17.5 per cent YoY and 12.4 per cent QoQ—helped by broad-based demand and big contract wins. This capped a solid FY25, where the firm crossed Rs 10,000 crore in annual revenue for the first time.
The growth was driven by consistent deal wins across verticals, including a record $80M+ deal in Q4 and multiple $10–50M contracts throughout the year. The acquisition of U.S.-based Intelliswift also contributed to late-FY25 performance and is expected to lift YoY figures in Q1 FY26.
Analysts expect revenue to rise in high single digits or low double digits YoY in Q1 FY26. On a sequential basis, some normalisation is likely after Q4’s spike. Emkay Global notes that the usual June-quarter softness may be less pronounced this year due to new deal ramp-ups.
Margin Recovery in Focus
Margins dipped sharply in Q4 FY25 due to integration costs from the Intelliswift acquisition and increased investments. EBIT margin fell to 13.2 per cent from 15.9 per cent in Q3. Net profit for Q4 declined to Rs 311 crore, down 9 per cent YoY despite the revenue surge.
Management attributed the drop to strategic spending and expects cost levers like offshoring, fresher hiring, and digital solution scaling to stabilise margins. Analysts are watching for a rebound toward the 15 per cent EBIT range in Q1 FY26. Another weak margin print could weigh on sentiment.
Key Segments to Watch
LTTS has reorganised into three verticals—Mobility, Sustainability, and Technology:
- Mobility (transportation/automotive) was the fastest-growing segment in early FY25, led by demand in EVs and connected cars.
- Technology (telecom, medical, hi-tech) gained momentum in H2 FY25, especially in medtech and cloud engineering. However, telecom remains subdued.
- Sustainability (industrial/plant engineering) showed consistent growth, driven by digital factory and green energy projects.
These segments are expected to drive Q1 growth, with plant engineering and medtech offsetting telecom softness.
Geographic Trends and Risks
Europe has outpaced North America in recent quarters and remains a key growth driver. The U.S., while crucial to LTTS’s revenue, faces macro uncertainties—including tariff risks and client caution in manufacturing and telecom.
Management commentary on client budgets, especially in the U.S., will be crucial to gauging FY26 momentum.
Stock View: Quality High, Momentum Weak
According to Value Research’s stock rating system, LTTS scores:
- Quality: 10/10
- Growth: 6/10
- Valuation: 4/10
- Momentum: 3/10
The company remains debt-free with strong return ratios (~27 per cent ROE), but weak recent stock performance has dragged momentum. The stock trades near Rs 4,300–Rs 4,400, well below its 52-week high of Rs 6,000.
What to Watch on July 16
- Sequential revenue and margin trends after Q4 surge
- Order book health and large deal TCVs
- Segment-wise performance, especially in sustainability and medtech
- Commentary on macro headwinds and U.S. client budgets
- Any updates on AI and digital transformation initiatives
If LTTS can deliver stable margins and signal deal momentum in Q1, the stock could see renewed investor interest, especially as it eyes a medium-term revenue target of $2 billion.
