Executive Summary
The India BSE IT stream reveals a mixed FY26 performance across key players, with Infosys showing modest Q4 revenue growth of 6.6% YoY (4.1% CC) to $3.7Bn but -1.2% QoQ decline and utilization drop to 79.7%, while Cyient reported consolidated revenue down 1.3% YoY to ₹72,682 Mn and net profit -29% YoY to ₹4,279 Mn due to segment declines and impairments. Coforge completed its transformative Encora acquisition, allotting 9.37 Cr shares at ₹1,815.91 and securing USD 550Mn loan, positioning for FY27 US$2.5Bn revenue with AI-led focus. Capital allocation shines with Cyient's ₹720 Cr buyback (₹1,125/share, 5.76% of capital), Infosys ₹25 final dividend (record June 10), and Oracle FS ₹270 interim dividend (record May 7). Neutral investor interactions dominate (Cyient DLM, Persistent roadshows), but positive M&A closure and shareholder returns signal management confidence amid softening demand. Portfolio-level trends: 2/3 major reporters (Infosys, Cyient) saw YoY profit pressure but robust capital returns; Coforge outlier with accretive deal. Implications: Tactical buys in capital return plays, caution on growth slowdowns, watch FY27 guidance shifts.
