New Research Reports

Strong deal engine and pipeline visibility, but growth quality still evolving: FSL demonstrated solid execution with 4.6% QoQ CC growth healthy doubledigit YoY growth, partially aided by new acquisition. Q3 saw 5 large deals (ACV >US$5 mn), 9 new logos including 5 strategic ones (potential of US$5mn revenue run-rate annually), and an exit pipeline above US$1 bn, while 60% of strategic logos over eight quarters scaled toward US$5mn run-rate relationships. However, BFSI and Healthcare were sequentially soft and nearterm optics are affected by provider account rationalization in healthcare segment (~50 bps FY26 revenue impact), suggesting reported momentum may remain uneven despite healthy underlying demand. Accordingly, we expect...

FY26 organic revenue growth guidance at top end reduced by 100bps on account rationalization. Strong 4QFY26 exit likely

3Q stronger than expected. FY26/FY27/FY28 likely to see mid-high teen revenue growth in USD terms with improving margins. An outlier

Quess Corp’s revenue was up 3% QoQ/down 2.2% YoY in 3QFY26, largely in line with our expectation of 3.5% QoQ growth. EBITDA margin was up 40bp YoY at 2%, in line with our estimate.

2QFY26 revenue tad weaker than expected. EBIT margin in line. FY26 guidance maintained. Revenue acceleration likely in 2HFY26

Firstsource (FSOL) reported a largely in-line operating performance in Q2. Revenue grew 2.3% QoQ to USD265mn (2.0% CC), a tad below our estimate.

Better than estimated revenue growth and margin in 2Q. 2HFY26 should also be solid. Mid-High teen USD revenue growth likely in FY27/FY28

We attended RPSG Group’s ‘Investor Day’, to understand Firstsource Solutions (FSOL)’s growth strategy and outlook. FSOL’s growth strategy encompassing the ‘OneFirstsource’ framework with focus on seven strategic
levers and its UnBPO approach (shifts focus from labor arbitrage to tech arbitrage) has started yielding early results, as reflected in the revenue growth acceleration, deal intake, and pipeline.

Retains its industry leading revenue growth outlook for FY26. Ups the lower end of the band. Strong order inflow and new logo addition helps

1QFY26 CC QoQ growth was robust at 3.3% (broadly in line with our estimate). EBIT margin was much better than estimate (by ~200bps)

FSOL has signed an agreement for acquiring Pastdue Credit Solutions (PDC) – a UK-headquartered debt collection agency serving UK’s several market-leading companies, including banks, utility firms, telecom players, and government bodies – for a cash consideration of £22mn (1.3x P/S on FY24 basis).

4QFY25 came in at the upper end of guidance. 15.6% YoY CC revenue organic growth in FY25 top quadrant performance

Firstsource (FSOL) reported inline operating performance in Q4 – revenue grew 2.1% QoQ CC; EBITM expanded by 10bps QoQ to 11.2%. Growth was broadbased across verticals, except Diverse industries that saw seasonal weakness.

3QFY25 broadly in line. Estimate organic growth in FY25 is likely at ~16% CC terms. Possibly second best in the Tierr-2 set

Firstsource (FSOL) delivered yet another quarter of strong topline growth in Q3FY25; revenue grew 7.6% QoQ CC, compared to our growth estimate of 6.9%.

3QFY25 broadly in line. A margin miss. Expect 4Q QoQ growth to be stronger. Expect low teen USD revenue growth in FY25-FY27.

5.7% CC QoQ revenue growth and 480bps EBIT margin expansion was ahead of estimate driven by financial markets vertical and top clients
