LTIMindtree has multiple headwinds in margins like calibration of utilization, re-investment in business and increasing depreciation (on account of building office spaces and capabilities around AI/Gen AI). Management would guide the margins in next couple of quarters, till, the brokerage believes, margins to be in the range of 15% -16% for FY26 and FY27.

IDBI Capital Report
LTIMindtree Ltd. reported muted Q4 revenues at $1,131 million, reflecting a sequential decline of 0.6% in constant currency, primarily impacted by deferrals in deal ramp-up amid late-quarter macroeconomic headwinds.
Despite the softness, management remains upbeat, anchored by robust deal wins exceeding $1.5 billion over recent quarters and a guided uptick in the FY26 order book versus FY25.
Under the new CEO's leadership, the company has articulated a strategic pivot centered on-
sales transformation,
multi-modal service delivery, and
enhancing agility and profitability.
A concern of passing on AI productivity benefits lauded last quarter shall not spill over to the coming quarters. Management reiterated that headcount expansion will increasingly decouple from topline growth, underscoring structural efficiency gains from AI adoption.
We believe the transformation journey is at a nascent stage, with long-term tailwinds aligning for sustained revenue acceleration. Accordingly, we upgrade our stance to Buy from Hold, valuing the stock at 25.5x FY27E EPS, translating to a target price of Rs 5,295.
