Hexaware Technologies Ltd. share price target

Hexaware showcased its net-new AI-led services and AI for business solutions that could expand its addressable TAM. It also holds a domain-led edge over peers in certain verticals (for example, it won an airline legacy modernisation contract against a larger incumbent).

We attended Hexaware (HEXT)’s Investor Day. The company's AI strategy has two legs: a ‘Zero Friction Enterprise’ framework built on six Zero pillars, and ‘AI for Business’ – solving previously unsolvable problems and entering adjacent markets.

We met with Hexaware (HEXT) CEO Mr. R. Srikrishna and CFO Mr. Vikash Kumar Jain following the 2QCY26 results to discuss the guidance revision, the demand environment, AI monetization, and the medium-term growth outlook.

Hexaware reported in-line, broad-based healthy revenue growth vs. our expectations, with five out of seven verticals and all three markets growing sequentially.

Hexaware Technologies (HEXT) reported revenue of USD405m in 2QCY26, up 4.4% QoQ in CC terms vs. our estimate of 4.8% QoQ CC.

Hexaware (HEXW) reported revenue growth and EBIT margins slightly better than those expected by the company at the start of the quarter in Q1CY26.

Hexaware Technologies (HEXT) reported revenue of USD389m in 1QCY26, down 0.3% QoQ in CC terms vs. our estimate of 0.5% QoQ CC.

We interacted with R Srikrishna, CEO of Hexaware Technologies (HEXT), to gauge the market pulse and assess the growth outlook. HEXT’s CY25 growth was impacted by weak macros, higher than usual client-specific challenges, and weak NN deal-wins in H1CY25. NN trends and overall growth started improving in H2CY25.

We initiate coverage on Hexaware with a BUY rating and TP of INR 570 based on 20x CY27E EPS of INR 29. We like Hexaware for its diversified vertical mix, expertise in select sub-segments across each vertical, broad-based service mix, early move into Generative and Agentic AI services, stable leadership and better cash flow conversion versus midtier peers.

Hexaware Technologies (HEXT) reported revenue of USD389m in 4QCY25, down 1.4% QoQ in CC terms vs. our estimate of 2.6% QoQ CC. In CY25, revenue grew 7.6%/7.1% YoY in USD/CC.

Hexaware Technologies (HEXT) reported revenue of USD395m in 3QCY25, up 3.4% QoQ in CC terms vs. our estimate of 3.3% QoQ CC.
