Cyient guidance and commentary
The company did not give out any guidance for the currency financial year while the management commentary stressed the demand uncertainties driven by the macro outlook.
'Q4FY25 digital, engineering, and technology (DET) revenue stood at ₹17 crore, a de-growth of 1.9% Q-o-Q in constant currency terms," noted Krishna Bodanapu, executive vice-chairman and managing director. "This was largely on account of macroeconomic uncertainties, which impacted the demand environment during the later part of Q4."
While there are some uncertainities in the near term, the company is working very closely with customers in navigating through the current challenges. "We expect this to last at least through the first half of FY26," Bodanapu said in the statement.
