Tata Elxsi Shares Tumble Despite Q3 Result Upbeat: A Closer Look
Shares of Tata Elxsi are facing pressure in trade after the company reported its third-quarter earnings report for the financial year ending March 2026. The stock is trading at Rs 5,649, accounting for cuts of around 2.5%. This compares to Tuesday’s closing price of Rs 5,793.
Q3 Results: A Mixed Bag
The pressure in Tata Elxsi shares came even after a third-quarter earnings that saw the company register strong set of numbers while margins also expanded. However, valuations have been expensive, with the stock trading 52 times price of earnings multiple compared to the Nifty 50’s average price-to-earnings multiple of 22 times.
The margin expansion was led by the software segment, rising 318 basis points, while growth was led by the transportation business. Among regions, growth was led by Europe and the United States. Net profit was down 29.7% at Rs 109 crore versus Rs 155 crore, while revenue was up 3.9% to Rs 953 crore versus Rs 918 crore. EBIT was up 17.4% to Rs 199 crore versus Rs 170 crore, with an EBIT margin of 20.9% versus 18.5%.
Segment-Wise Performance
While the transportation revenue grew by 7.7% sequentially, other segments such as Media and Communications and Healthcare registered a 0.3% and 3.6% decline in revenue on a quarter-on-quarter basis. According to CEO Manoj Raghavan, “Media and Communications, and the Healthcare and Life Sciences verticals were impacted by seasonal furloughs and some key deal awards that were delayed at the end of the quarter, I am confident of recovery and growth in both these verticals starting Q4 of the current financial year”.
