Future outlook

While Tech Mahindra’s Q1 FY26 results present a strong profit growth and margin expansion were seen positively, concerns lingered regarding the revenue growth trajectory, particularly the sequential decline. The company’s strong deal wins provided a silver lining, indicating a healthy pipeline for future growth.
