Tech Mahindra share price climbs 2% ahead of Q4 results today; here's what experts expect from IT firm's Q4 earnings
After declining for four straight months, Tech Mahindra's share price has rebounded in April, rising nearly 2 per cent so far this month. Year-to-date, the stock is down nearly 16 per cent. The IT stock hit a 52-week low of ₹ 1,172.55 on April 25 and a 52-week high of ₹ 1,807.40 on December 12 last year.
Tech Mahindra will declare its March quarter (Q4FY25) results today (Thursday, 24th April, 2025). Along with the Q4 earnings, the IT company may also announce an interim dividend for the last financial year (FY25).
Tech Mahindra's Q4 numbers could come mixed, with mild growth in profit and margins.
Along with the key numbers, investors focus will be on management commentary for the outlook on key segments, especially in the US, such as CME (communications, media and entertainment) and manufacturing verticals.
According to brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services, Tech Mahindra's revenue growth may decline 0.8 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in constant currency (CC) in Q4 due to a muted recovery in the telecom and manufacturing segments, which contribute nearly 50 per cent of the company's total revenue.
"While the communications vertical has stabilised, recovery may take time," Motilal Oswal said.
Motilal said Tech Mahindra's adjusted profit after tax (PAT) may rise 3.3 per cent year-on-year (YoY) and 1.8 per cent QoQ. Margins may rise 10bp despite wage hikes as 'Project Fortius' continues to deliver.
Last year, Tech Mahindra unveiled its three-year plan, Project Fortius, to achieve a 15 per cent operating margin.
Motilal expects Tech Mahindra to deliver a good deal of TCV (total contract value) in Q4, highlighting that the rate of deal wins saw improvement in the third quarter in key verticals such as telecom and hi-tech.
On the other hand, Nuvama Institutional Equities expects Tech Mahindra to report a 0.7 per cent QoQ decline in revenue in constant currency (CC) terms and a 1.5 per cent QoQ decline in US dollar (USD) terms.
Nuvama believes the benefits of reversal of furloughs and Comviva seasonality will be offset by headwinds in hi-tech and a few low-margin deal closures.
Tech Mahindra's margins, according to Nuvama, may remain flat Qoq, despite the wage hike.
"We shall watch out for the management comments on the FY27 revenue and margin guidance, and their progress on it," Nuvama said.

Stocks to buy or sell: Dharmesh Shah of ICICI Sec suggests buying Titan, NALCO shares today- 7 July 2025
Stock market today: India's stock market indices are expected to have a flat opening on Monday, as investors remain cautious ahead of the impending US tariff deadline. The Gift Nifty futures were reported at 25,535 points as of 7:58 IST, suggesting that the Nifty 50 will start close to its last closing value of 25,461. Asian equities opened lower after US officials indicated a postponement in the forthcoming tariffs but did not provide clarity or formal documentation, leaving investors uncertain about the nature of the change. Last week, both the Nifty 50 and Sensex experienced a decline of 0.7% each. Dharmesh Shah of ICICI Securities said Nifty 50 would head towards 25,800 in the coming week. Shah has recommended two stock to buy for short-term. Investors should consult experts before making decisions. Here's what he expects from Indian stock market next week, along with his stock recommendation. Equity benchmarks have taken a breather amid increasing anxiety ahead of trade deal deadline. Nifty 50 dropped 1% to settle the week at 25400. Sectorally, Consumption, Pharma, Defence remained at forefront while, realty, financials (ex- PSU Banks) underwent profit booking. The weekly price action formed a small bear candle carrying higher low, indicating pause in upward momentum after past two weeks up move. The index is sustaining well above recent consolidation breakout that coincided with 20 days EMA which has been majorly held since April-25. We believe, ongoing retracement would make market healthy and pave the way to head towards 25,800 in the coming week. Going ahead, all eyes will be on outcome of US-India bilateral trade deal coupled with onset of Q1FY26 earning season which will result into acceleration of ongoing uptrend. The better-than-expected outcome would fuel momentum to challenge All Time High in coming month wherein strong support is placed at 24,900. From the seasonality perspective, July has been the favourable month for Nifty 50 since 1991, 71% of the time returns have been positive with an average of 2.5%. Structurally, over past three months index has maintained its winning streak while absorbing host of negative news around geo-political uncertainties coupled with clarity of trade tariff. In the process, market breadth has shown gradual improvement as currently ~60% stocks of Nifty 500 universe are trading above 200 days EMA compared to last month's reading of 52% that bodes well for durability of ongoing up move. On the global macro front, weakness in US Dollar index would result into FII's inflow in emerging markets while cool off in Brent crude oil would boost the market sentiment. The formation of higher peak and trough makes us maintain our support base at 24,900 for the Nifty 50 which is based on 61.8% retracement of recent rally (24,473-25,654) and 20-day EMA. Dharmesh Shah of ICICI Securities recommends buying Titan and National Aluminium Company Ltd (Nalco) shares this week. Buy Titan shares in the range of ₹ 3,454-3,676. He has Titan share price target of ₹ 3,978 with a stop loss of ₹ 3,280. Buy Nalco shares in the range of ₹ 186-192. He has Nalco share price target of ₹ 216 with a stop loss of ₹ 174.
