"Expect seasonally lower revenues for the products business and marginal growth for the IT & ERD services business. On a Q-o-Q basis, we expect the positive impact of currency (CC) to more than offset the seasonal decline in the business. USD revenue growth is expected to be 0.5% Q-o-Q and 4.5% Y-o-Y," HSBC said.

Operating margins are expected to fall by approximately 80 basis points due to the impact of lower utilisation, a lower share of revenues from the high-margin software business, and some adverse currency impact.

Key focus area: Update on FY26 revenue growth guidance; we expect the company to maintain guidance of 2-5% in USD terms. Outlook on deal ramp-ups, discretionary spends, and ER&D business will be critical.
