What are experts saying?
Motilal Oswal maintains ‘Sell’ on Tata Tech share price with TP of Rs 500, a 15% downside. The brokerage said that while 4QFY26 saw a strong rebound and deal momentum has improved, revenue growth remains in the early stages of recovery and is dependent on execution over the next few quarters. Margin expansion is likely to be gradual and back-ended. We remain watchful of deal ramp-ups, FVP conversions and sustainability of demand before turning constructive. Auto spending is yet to see a clear inflection and recovery remains at an early stage, and management execution over the next couple of quarters will be key.
Commenting on performance, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Warren Harris said the momentum seen in Q3 continued into Q4, resulting in 12% revenue growth in constant currency and a 190 basis point expansion in margins.He noted that growth was broad-based rather than driven by a single client or program. He added that strong execution, better order book visibility, and increasing wins in full-vehicle programs support the company’s outlook for FY27, where it expects double-digit organic growth along with sustained margin expansion.
