Executive Summary
Across 7 BSE IT filings, the sector shows mixed FY26 performance with average revenue growth of ~5% YoY (LTTS 8.3%, Infosys 3.1%), decelerating into Q4 (LTTS +0.3% YoY/-1.7% QoQ, Infosys +4.1% YoY CC), amid strategic rationalizations and AI productivity pressures. Margin resilience stands out (LTTS EBIT +40bps QoQ to 15.2%, Infosys 21% FY26), but FY27 guidance diverges sharply: LTTS ambitious 13-15% CAGR over 5 years vs Infosys modest 1.5-3.5% YoY CC. Capital allocation favors shareholders via Hexaware's generous 850% interim dividend (₹8.50/share, record May 5), while partnerships like TCS-Siemens signal AI/infra collaboration. LTTS large deals +40% YoY to $855Mn and Infosys $14.9B (+28%) highlight deal momentum, but employee declines at Infosys (>8,000 in 5-6 quarters) flag utilization risks. Portfolio-level theme: Divergent conviction with bullish long-term bets (LTTS Lakshya plan) contrasting near-term caution, positioning selective longs in growth outliers amid sector moderation.
