HCL Tech Share Price Rises After Fourth-Quarter Earnings Meet Expectations

HCL Tech Ltd.'s share price rose over 6.6% on Wednesday following the release of its fourth-quarter earnings report.

The company adjusted its revenue-growth forecast for the current fiscal to 2–5%, reflecting the uncertain demand environment, down from the previous year's guidance of 4.5–5%.

The company's consolidated net profit fell by 6.2% sequentially to Rs 4,309 crore for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. Despite this decline, the net profit was in line with the consensus estimate of Rs 4,376 crore from analysts tracked by Bloomberg. The IT services firm's revenue for the fourth quarter rose by 1.2% to Rs 30,246 crore, meeting market expectations.

Brokerages have offered mixed reactions to HCL Tech's latest earnings report. Some analysts are optimistic about the company's growth potential, while others remain cautious due to the uncertain demand environment and potential tariff impacts.

Jefferies highlighted that HCL Tech has experienced limited impact from tariffs so far, but anticipates pressures on discretionary spending across various sectors in the coming quarters. It maintained a 'hold' rating on the stock.

While, JPMorgan noted that HCL Tech's fourth-quarter results were in line with the fiscal 2026 guidance, which has not been significantly affected by post-tariff macroeconomic conditions. The brokerage upgraded its rating to 'overweight', citing the company's resilience and growth prospects.

The scrip rose as much as 6.63% to Rs 1,578 apiece. It pared gains to trade 6.58% higher at Rs 1,577 apiece, as of 09:26 a.m. This compares to a 0.70% advance in the NSE Nifty 50 Index.

It has risen 6.10% in the last 12 months. Total traded volume so far in the day stood at 7.3 times its 30-day average. The relative strength index was at 59.

Out of 46 analysts tracking the company, 22 maintain a 'buy' rating, 16 recommend a 'hold,' and eight suggest 'sell,' according to Bloomberg data.
