Tech Mahindra Q4 Results - Strategic Business and Deal Wins Enhance Performance

While at first glance, the major digital services provider’s results seem subdued for Q4 and FY2023-24, its Free Cash Flow stands at $129 mn (USD) in Q4 and at $676 mn (USD) for the full previous fiscal year (FY2023-24). As with all large corporations, Tech Mahindra may not have had a great year in terms of performance and financial metrics, but the Company is taking strides towards improving its position in the digital domain, both globally and domestically. While its U.S. market business is on the downside for the previous year, its European business showed some light at the end of the tunnel (a QoQ rise of 0.2% in Revenue). 

With more digital adoption and key deal wins in Q4, Tech Mahindra is quite optimistic for a boost in its Revenues.
