Motilal Oswal Report

Updater Services Ltd. reported a Q2 FY26 revenue growth of 7% YoY to Rs 7.3 billion, below our estimate of ~Rs 7.7 billion. Core Ebitda margin came in at 4.3% (estimate 5.9%), down 130bp QoQ.

Consolidated adjusted net profit stood at Rs 198 million (down 30% YoY), below our estimate of Rs 321 million.

Updarer’s H1 FY26 revenue grew 7.3% YoY, whereas Ebitda declined 16.3% YoY. For H2 FY26, we expect its revenue/Ebitda to grow by 13%/1.0% YoY.

We downgrade the stock to Neutral with a revised target price of Rs 230, as weaker BSS trends (FY26 growth cut to 3–3.5%), lower overall guidance (9–10% vs 13– 15% earlier), margin pressures from client issues, and ramp-up costs limit near-term visibility.
