Persistent Systems Ltd. share price target

FY27 revenue is expected to track 18 to 20% growth in constant currency, supported by execution on the USD 650M+ strategic agreement, balanced vertical momentum across Healthcare, BFSI, and Technology, and healthy underlying ACV bookings.

Persistent (PSYS)’s Q1FY27 performance marked a continued trend of industry-leading organic revenue growth, up 4.1% QoQ CC and strong deal wins (TCV/ACV grew 120%/39% YoY).

Persistent Systems (PSYS) reported 1QFY27 revenue of USD452.4m (vs. est. USD449m), up 3.8% QoQ in USD terms and 4.1% in CC (est. +3%). Adj. EBIT margin stood at 16% (est. 16.1%).

We expect Persistent Systems to report a strong Q1FY27 with USD revenue of USD 449.6 Mn (+3.1% QoQ, +15.4% YoY), reflecting continued execution on large deal ramp ups and strength across BFSI and Healthcare verticals.

Currently, the company is trading at 27x/23x P/E multiples of FY27E/FY28E. We value the company at 34x FY28E EPS and maintain our BUY rating on the stock with an unchanged TP of Rs 6,270/share, implying an upside of 46% from the CMP.

Acquisition to be funded by bridge loan facility of EUR 1.4 bn The investments (USD 1.6bn) in Nagarro is largely complementing and scaling the core business dynamics of PSYS, in terms of expanding new verticals and geographies, where PSYS has marginal presence. More importantly, the target entity shares a similar culture and service lines to PSYS' core business, which is a positive in our view. However, we believe there is a slight business risk which comes along with the vertical presence, barring 2-3 verticals, the near-term growth within other business units remains a challenge (mid-single-digit). PSYS is largely pivoted on the build side...

On 27 June 2026, PSYS announced a very large acquisition (Nagarro - 75% of current revenue) and a large net new deal

Persistent Systems announced two strategic developments: the acquisition of Nagarro for an enterprise value of €1.27b, and a new USD650m+ services contract over 6.5 years with an existing US-based technology customer.

We expect BFSI to be the strongest vertical and could lead growth in FY27E, followed by healthcare and hitech, although SaaS remains relatively softer, AI and license revenue, coupled with Sasva and iAura, continue to provide PSYS with a competitive edge over the market for now.

FY27 revenue run-rate target of $2 Billion. Al adoption expected to accelerate across clients. EBIT margin aspiration of 16-17%. Continued growth across BFSI, Healthcare & Technology.

We maintain our BUY rating on the stock.

4QFY26 tad weaker than estimate on both revenue and margins. US$2bn revenue run rate is likely in 4QFY27. Still be a growth leader

Steady Growth, Slight Miss on Estimates in Q4 Deal wins impacted by seasonality in Q4 The revenue performance (+3.4% QoQ CC) was below our estimates (+4.3% QoQ CC), attributed to passing productivity benefits to its marquee accounts. Barring this impact, the execution remained strong in terms of winning new business ACV, grew 37.7% YoY in Q4 and 22.7% YoY in FY26. Despite the escalating geo-political tension, management expects growth momentum to continue within all three verticals. The deployment of products and solutions benefits in terms of optimizing resources and...

Persistent’s top line came in a tad short of consensus expectations; yet, its Q4 growth outpaced peers. Despite high exposure to product engineering—a segment vulnerable to AI disruption—the company is successfully pivoting to capture AI-led revenue.

Inline revenue. Margin surprise on sale of AI Software licenses. The US$2bn FY27 goal may require an acquisition
