Market anticipated modest sequential growth due to weak discretionary tech spending and cautious IT budgets. While revenue outperformed estimates with 8.2% YoY growth, margin contraction and PAT decline surprised the street. The company’s Gen AI investments and OpenAI partnership were expected to be long-term positives, but impacted near-term profitability.
Roshni Nadar Malhotra said, "AI has become integral to business growth of global enterprises. HCLTech’s capabilities and strategic partnerships ensure our AI-led solutions are practical, comprehensive and significant value creators to our clients. We also remain intensely focused on the ethical deployment of AI and maximizing its positive social impact.”
