HCL Technologies Ltd. share price target

HCLTech delivered 3.7% YoY revenue growth despite a seasonal 0.8% sequential dip, driven by strong demand in technology, telecom, retail, and financial services, with solid performance in Europe and the Rest of the World. Operating margins declined to 16.3% due to lower utilization from early hiring, a client bankruptcy, and continued investments in GenAI and go-to-market capabilities. Services grew 4.5% YoY, while software revenue declined 3%YoY. Bookings totaled USD 1.8bn, with two large deals delayed to Q2, supporting confidence in near-term growth. Company deepened its AI-led strategy through partnerships...

The revenue growth performance was tad below our estimates, largely attributed to the P&P business (down 7.1% QoQ CC), while Service business growth was flat CC QoQ despite macro volatility. The revenue guidance improvement at the lower band by 100bps eliminates the odds of hitting the worst, while improved discretionary spends on Financial Service and Technology verticals further boosts management confidence to deliver growth within the guidance band. However, the tariff sensitive verticals (Manufacturing, Retail, Healthcare) continue to see execution deferrals and...

4QFY25 was peer beating. FY26 revenue guide assumes flattish CQGR at lower end; does not square up against the cautious commentary

HCLT’s FY26 revenue organic guidance of 1–4% YoY CC appears optimistic at its upper end, implying -0.6% to 0.9% organic CQGR. It is supported by an exit growth rate of 1.6%. Management mentioned that it did not see any project deferral or rampdown due to tariff-related uncertainties in Q4FY25.

Strong deal wins in Q4 of USD 3bn with robust pipeline The operating performance was broadly in line with our estimates. The FY26 revenue outlook (2-5% YoY CC) assumes 100bps of inorganic element (HPE Assets). The organic guidance translates to a weak CQGR of (-0.1% to +0.9%), which assumes the execution delays and further deterioration of demand at the lower band of the guidance. We believe the company is highly exposed to tariff sensitive verticals (Manufacturing, Retail, Healthcare), while the ER&D...
