However, the revenue guidance for Q2FY26 remains weak. Challenges faced in the macroeconomic environment, discretionary spending and client-specific challenges led to a decrease in revenue from Europe. The company...

Tata Technologies has delivered a moderate financial performance in Q1FY26, impacted by uncertain macroeconomic conditions and policy-related pressure on sentiments, resulting in margin compression. Despite these challenges, the company expects a sequential recovery in Q2 and a stronger H2FY26.

However, we believe the cost optimization efforts would continue at a similar pace of FY25 with continued efforts to...
