HCL Tech Q2 result preview: Revenue growth likely between 2.4% sequentially
HCL Technologies revenue is likely to grow 2.4% (in constant currency terms) sequentially in the quarter ending in September, 2026, according to brokerage PL Capital. Motilal Oswal sees a 3% QoQ growth in services revenue (CC), which is likely to reflect contribution of around 1% from Jaspersoft and the HPE Telco business.
“We expect HCLT revenue to increase by 2.4% QoQ in CC & 2.3% in USD terms, with 1.2% QoQ CC organic growth & contribution from Jaspersoft and HPE acquisitions,” stated PL Capital in its report.
HCL Tech Q2 result: EBIT margin to expand
The IT firm’s revenue margin may expand nearly 70 bp on a quarterly basis, supported by revenue growth and FX tailwind, as per Nuvama report. However, MOFSL is expecting 120 bp expansion in EBIT margin.
“EBIT margin is expected to expand ~120bp QoQ to ~18.1%, in line with the usual 2Q seasonal improvement, as we do not expect incremental investment headwinds,” read the Motilal Oswal Financial Services report.

As per Nuvama report, the IT services giant may see 15.9% year-on-year growth in its profit after tax (PAT), and 6.2% on a QoQ basis. Motilal Oswal sees 21.3% YoY jump in PAT.
HCL Technologies FY27 guidance expectations
While Nuvama expects FY27 guidance revision by HCL Technologies, PL Capital sees the IT firm to “maintain mid-range of its FY27E organic guidance.”
“We expect HCLT to tweak its FY27 Services guidance to 2.5%–4.0% (from 1.5–4.5%) CC YoY maintaining the mid-point. EBIT margin guidance is likely to be trimmed to lower half of 17.5–18.5% range,” read Motilal Oswal report.
