IT Q4 Results Preview - Motilal Oswal Expect Cautious FY26E Guidance; Tech Mahindra, Coforge Remains Top Pick

Motilal Oswal continues to like HCLTech for its all-weather portfolio, and believe TCS offered a fair risk-reward balance.

Among tier-I players, Motilal Oswal prefers Tech Mahindra, driven by early signs of transformation under new leadership and improving execution in BFSI.

Motilal Oswal expect Infosys and TCS to report a revenue decline of 1.0% and 0.5% QoQ cc, respectively, whereas HCLTech is anticipated to clock a 0.6% decline in Q4 FY25, driven by tapering of deal ramp-ups in telecom and seasonal weakness in the P&P segment. Meanwhile, Tech Mahindra is likely to post a 0.8% QoQ revenue decline and Wipro may report flat revenue QoQ. LTIMindtree could deliver 0.2% QoQ cc growth despite productivity pass-back in a key account spilling into Q4.

Motilal Oswal Report

As we argued in our previous report, the discretionary spending recovery that we saw picking up in H1 FY25 has been stuck in the second gear; and clients are likely to be in wait-and-watch mode as they take stock of the trade war, a slower Fed rate cut cycle, and other macro-economic risks.

The net result of this will be a stop-start recovery in discretionary spending, pegging FY26E revenue growth for most large-caps in the range of 2-5% in constant currency.

There are three key questions that we would like to address:

  1. Is there an upside risk to FY26 growth estimates?

  2. Is feeble large-cap growth already in the price? and

  3. Is further de-rating possible if the trade war escalates and US/Europe macro worsens?
