rewrite this title and make it good for SEOTech Mahindra Q1 Preview: Revenue likely to decline 0.8%, EBIT margin may rise 30 bps

IT major Tech Mahindra is expected to post a marginal decline of 0.8 per cent quarter-on-quarter in constant currency (cc) revenue for the June quarter, weighed down by continued weakness in its key Communications, Media, and Technology (CMT) vertical, according to Zee Business Research.

Despite the likely topline softness, margins are expected to improve. Analysts estimate a 30 basis point sequential expansion in EBIT margin, supported by ongoing cost optimisation efforts.

Deal momentum, however, is expected to remain steady. The research team pegs net new deal wins in the range of USD 600–800 million, signaling sustained traction in key segments.

In Q4, Tech Mahindra reported revenues of Rs 13,394 crore, up 1 per cent from Rs 13,384 crore a year earlier. EBIT stood at Rs 1,476 crore, up 5 per cent, while EBIT margin expanded to 10.8 per cent from 10.5 per cent. Adjusted PAT rose 4.4 per cent to Rs 1,218 crore, with earnings per share (EPS) at Rs 13.9, up from Rs 13.2.
