Bull points
- Overall, at this point in time, the volume for the last year has remained flattish. And as we go forward, we continue to see volumes to remain, you know, flatter or marginally positive as we, what we've taken in the guidance at this point in time, which is reflected in the lower end. In the upper end, you know, as I said earlier, we have expected, you know, better macro environment, which should reflect in better volumes.
- We delivered a strong performance in the financial year 2026. We had a growth of 3.1% for the full year in constant currency terms.
- Large deals were strong. For the full year, we had $14.9 billion of large deals. This is a growth of 24% over the prior year. And for Q4, we were at $3.2 billion, a strong showing for the quarter.
Bear points
- we do see, as you were saying earlier, we do see some deflation from our existing services, right? And largely part of that is getting offset by the new services, the new AI-driven services.
- Sequentially, revenues declined 1.3% in constant currency due to seasonality and slower decision-making in the month of March.
- Growth in Q4 was broad-based across major geographies. Communication, EURS, and LS verticals grew well above the company average on a year-on-year basis in constant currency terms.
