• Management said guidance was narrowed because half the year is over, with the midpoint kept same as before despite good demand building at quarter end.
• Management said it is being cautious due to volatile environment over the last two years and will update at end of Q3.
• EBIT margin guidance maintained at 17.5-18.5% despite a Q2 margin uptick of about 129 basis points, driven by AI-led efficiency.
• Company stated profits from margin gains will be reinvested to boost AI capability and market share.
• Analyst Manav Nidevala said HCL Tech raised the lower end of FY26 revenue growth guidance to 2.5% from 1%, keeping upper end at 4%, with 87-90 bps from inorganic growth, implying a modest 15-20 bps reduction in organic growth midpoint.
