TCS, Infosys, HCLTech, Coforge — Top Stock Picks By Motilal Oswal; IT Q1 Results Preview

For Q1, we expect aggregate revenue for our coverage universe to grow by 6.0% YoY, while EBIT and PAT are likely to grow at 7.0% and 6.5% YoY

While a host of geopolitical events as well as tariff uncertainty would have played spoilsport on notable deal signings, widespread client deferrals/ ramp-downs have largely been avoided.

Motilal Oswal expects margins to be range-bound and supply-side pressures to remain muted; however, meaningful margin gains are restricted by low growth, visa costs and pressure from a strong INR vs USD.

Motilal Oswal Report

Q1 FY26 has been an uncertain, albeit better-than-expected quarter for IT services, in our view. While a host of geopolitical events as well as tariff uncertainty would have played spoilsport on notable deal signings, widespread client deferrals/ ramp-downs have largely been avoided.

We expect Q1 numbers to reflect this reality: QoQ revenue and deal total contract value across large-caps could be unexciting (expect QoQ constant currency growth range of -2.5% to +1.5% for large-caps.

Midcaps are expected to outperform once again with a growth range of -2.0% to +7.0%).

A weak dollar against a basket of currencies will lead to 100-200bp of QoQ cross-currency tailwinds, aiding estimates.
