Tata Elxsi share price opens lower after disappointing Q1 FY27 results. While revenue remained in line with expectations, profit declined 22.6% sequentially, and EBIT margin narrowed to 19% due to wage hikes and technology transition costs. With this, the stock is now down over 32% so far in 2026.
Tata Elxsi fell over 6% in early trade on Wednesday after the company reported its June quarter results after market hours on Tuesday. Even though revenue remained broadly in line with market expectations, investors reacted negatively to the decline in quarterly profit and contraction of operating margins.
Around 273.05 lakh shares had changed hands during early trade. While this was below the stock's 30-day average daily volume of 361.10 lakh shares, trading activity remained high during the opening hours.
The company’s revenue continued to grow, but profitability came under pressure. This was because of higher employee costs and technology transition expenses.
The company reported consolidated revenue of ₹1,021.1 crore, up 2.8% sequentially and 14.5% compared with the same quarter last year. The figure was largely in line with analysts' expectations.
However, consolidated profit after tax stood at ₹170.6 crore. This was 22.6% lower than the ₹220.4 crore reported in the March quarter and below Street estimates of ₹197 crore. On a year-on-year basis, profit still rose 18.2%.
EBITDA came in at ₹216 crore, up 15.7% from the year-ago period. But the biggest concern for investors was the decline in operating margins. EBIT margin fell to 19% from 22.3% in the previous quarter. The margin contracted by 330 basis points sequentially. This was because the company absorbed the impact of annual wage hikes and upfront costs related to critical technology transitions.
Following the earnings announcement, its share price opened at ₹3,533 against the previous close of ₹3,697.30. This was a gap-down of 4.44%. Selling pressure intensified during the morning session, with the stock slipping to an intraday low of ₹3,469.70. This was 6.16% below the previous closing price.
At around 9:49 AM IST on July 15, 2026, the stock was trading at ₹3,525, down ₹172.30 or 4.66%. The weakness has not been limited to a single trading session. Its shares have declined more than 32% so far in 2026 and are down over 44% during the past one year.
