L&T Technology Services share price fall 5% despite strong revenue growth in Q4 – Should you buy, sell or hold?
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on April 25, 2025, 09:32 IST
Shares of L&T Technology Services (LTTS) plunged nearly 5% to ₹4,255.10 on Thursday despite posting double-digit revenue growth in Q4FY25, as profit declined due to the impact of its recent acquisition.
The company reported a consolidated revenue of ₹2,982.4 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, marking a 12.4% quarter-on-quarter increase. However, net profit fell 3.5% sequentially to ₹311.1 crore, mainly due to lower operating margins and costs related to the Intelliswift acquisition.
Operating margins shrank to 13.2% from 15.9% in the previous quarter.
Amit Chadha, CEO and MD of LTTS, said, 'We continued our industry-leading QoQ growth momentum with a third straight quarter of sequential growth of 10.7% and delivered 8.9% revenue growth in constant currency in FY25 despite a challenging environment.'
LTTS announced record deal bookings in the March quarter, including one $80 million deal, one $50 million deal, a $30 million deal, a $20 million deal, and three $10 million deals.
Despite this strong deal pipeline, Citi retained its 'Sell' rating on the stock with a revised target price of ₹3,800, down from its previous target of ₹4,105, reflecting concerns around margin pressure and integration-related risks.
Meanwhile, LTTS shares were trading at ₹4,255.10, down 4.98% or ₹222.80 on the NSE, compared to a previous close of ₹4,477.90.
