Tech Mahindra EBIT margin guidance
Tech Mahindra is focusing on various key levers such as fixed price project optimisation via automation and productivity improvements, optimised employee pyramid, average resource costs and many others, to improve its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins to 15 per cent by FY27 from its current levels of 10.5 per cent.
Tech Mahindra has also launched new growth initiatives including: Tech Mahindra Consulting (dedicated consulting arm) & Comprehensive AI Suite (positioning as a Strategic AI Partner to clients, with focus areas including LLM & Agentic AI) on the back of which it treads towards its FY27 goal.
Brokerages view on Tech Mahindra
Management remains committed to improve margins moving forward through operational efficiencies (Project Fortius), automation, AI, and other initiatives, with the goal of achieving their 15 per cent target margins by FY27. However, considering the current pressures from an uncertain macro environment, analysts at ICICI Securities bake in EBIT margins of 12.5 per cent/ 14 per cent in FY26E/ FY27E.
Despite the current macro pressures, the brokerage firm believes with the current investments and efforts towards capability building, Tech Mahindra is on track to achieve its FY27 goals. Analysts maintain BUY rating on Tech Mahindra, valuing it at 24x P/E on FY27E EPS, with target price of ₹1,730 (vs ₹2,000 earlier).
According to Geojit Financial Services, under the new leadership, Tech Mahindra is undergoing a transformation, diversifying its client base and expanding beyond its traditional strongholds in telecom and hi-tech.
With a solid foundation in place and an uptick in deal wins, including a large deal with a US-based Telco firm, it is well-positioned to capitalize on the emerging opportunities in 5G, supported by its timely investments in network infrastructure, intellectual properties, and ecosystem partnerships. Its turnaround strategy appears resilient to economic fluctuations.
With potential upside from a telecom rebound, operational efficiencies and cost optimisation from automation and Project Fortius, the brokerage firm expect improved margin gains going forward. 'Therefore, we upgrade our rating to BUY from HOLD on the stock, with a revised target price of ₹1,790 based on 25x FY27E adjusted EPS,' the brokerage firm said in the Q4FY25 result update.
Tech Mahindra has been on a revival journey with a new CEO focusing on adding quality clients, focused on growth beyond traditional verticals of telecom and hi-tech as well as building synergy with the Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) Group for further scaling up the business. It is relooking at cost structure to improve margin, early signs of the same are already visible, analysts at Elara Capital said.
The brokerage firm said it is building in back-ended revenue growth for Tech Mahindra like other firms, as it is not immune to turbulence visible in FY26. For FY27, the company aspires to grow above peer average, and analysts believe ingredients are in place. However, the stock is trading above target price of ₹1,530 per share.

Apple in talks with home-grown companies to produce iPhone gears
The move is significant, as the import of critical capital equipment and machines - mostly made in China and essential for assembling the latest phones Surajeet Das Gupta New Delhi Listen to This Article US-based technology giant Apple Inc is in talks with home-grown companies to manufacture capital equipment and machines required to make iPhones in India. These machines would then be supplied to the company's iPhone vendors in the country as they expand capacity and launch new phones. The move is significant, as the import of critical capital equipment and machines — mostly made in China and essential for assembling the latest phones — is currently facing indefinite delays at ports. The effort to identify potential local suppliers would help reduce business risks. Confirming the development, a senior Ministry of Electronics and Information

'Chinese threat' that made Donald Trump make deal with China is now worrying TV, speaker, smartwatch and other electronics makers in India
China's control over critical minerals, also called Rare earth metals/minerals, is reportedly a powerful bargaining chip in trade talks, as seen in recent US-China discussions. By easing export restrictions, China can secure concessions, such as tariff relief or relaxed visa policies, as hinted in negotiations where Trump claimed progress on access to Chinese magnets and minerals The America's reliance on China for these minerals is seen as a strategic vulnerability. In April, China reportedly restricted rare earth mineral exports in response to Trump's tariff increases. The export restrictions on rare earth minerals is said to have made President Donald Trump furious. On June 11, Trump announced on Truth Social that China agreed to supply the U.S. with these minerals as part of a trade deal, calling it 'done'. Rare Metal worries 'come to India' Similar worries about rare earth metals has reportedly come closer home. China's export controls on rare earth metals, particularly Terbium and Dysprosium used in Neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets, is reportedly creating panic among speakers, wearables, and television and some other consumer electronic manufacturers in India. According to a report in Economic Times, China's export control licensing of rare earth metals is worrying electronics companies who are sitting on thin supplies of permanent magnets with the threat of production coming to a standstill looming large, industry executives and associations said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Among the seven rare earth metals facing restricted exports, Terbium and Dysprosium are critical components in Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) magnets, or permanent magnets, which is the preferred choice for high-performance, portable and compact audio products. These magnets are said to be vital for high-performance audio products, constitute 5-7% of the bill of materials, with India importing nearly 100% from China, per ELCINA 's whitepaper. ELCINA warned that the inability to procure NdFeB magnets could halt speaker production in Noida, Chennai, and Pune, potentially forcing OEMs to import finished speakers, undermining the "Make in India" initiative. Chinese port delays, requiring end-use declarations, are further disrupting speaker assembly units, delaying supplies to domestic TV and audio brands. According to the report, the industry body has claimed that shipments of magnets and even finished products with embedded magnets are being stopped at Chinese ports, pending end-use declarations. This is leading to production disruptions of speaker assembly units in India, delaying supplies to customers including domestic TV and audio brands. Indian manufacturers and importers are seeking government-issued end-use certificates to meet Chinese export requirements. IESA president Ashok Chandak attributed the crisis partly to India's lack of local processing capabilities and overreliance on imports, despite having critical mineral reserves. He told ET that the current situation can be partially blamed on Indian manufacturers who ignored the risk back in 2020. Since China's April export control announcement, magnet prices have risen 15%, with costs doubling when sourced from Japan, Vietnam, or recycled Indian suppliers, per ELCINA's analysis. What are '17 Elements' called Rare Earth Minerals Rare earth minerals are a group of 17 elements, including Scandium, Yttrium, and the 15 Lanthanides, found in the Earth's crust. Despite their name, they are relatively abundant, but extracting and processing them is complex, costly, and environmentally damaging. These minerals are critical for high-tech industries, powering everything from smartphone screens and electric vehicle motors to defense systems and medical devices. AI Masterclass for Students.
