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.

Persistent Systems’ outlook is defined by its seamless transition into a premier, AI-led digital engineering powerhouse.

Persistent posted robust results for another quarter with 3.4% q/q cc revenue growth to $436mn aided by a healthy order book (LTM TCV up 14.4% y/y) along with continued large-account mining and resilient growth across major client buckets, with all customer buckets growing at roughly 19% to 21% y/y in FY26.

We maintain our BUY rating on the stock.

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.

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.

Despite the escalating geo-political tension, management expects growth momentum to continue within all three verticals.

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