Management commentary on demand environment, and forward guidance will be in focus when Indian IT services players declare their September quarter results for financial year 2024-25 (Q2FY25). The industry is expected to have continued on the path of recovery in Q2, similar to the preceding quarter, rather than sprint towards growth. The top four firms likely grew between 0 per cent and 4 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y), according to consensus estimates.
“Q2 is unlikely to change the earnings trajectory for the sector. While demand is improving, it is not beating existing estimates,” HSBC Global Research said in a recent note.
The earnings reports come in the wake of the US Federal Reserve cutting rates for the first time since March 2020. Accenture - considered a bellwether for the industry - also indicated an unchanged macro environment as part of its results last month. However, the recent deepening of the West Asia crisis is likely to add to concerns going ahead.
