LTM (formerly LTIMindtree) reported Q2 FY27 revenue of Rs 11,807.6 crore, up 13.6%, and net profit of Rs 1,398 crore, flat year on year, on 16 Oct 2026. Order inflow fell to $1.26 billion, down about 21% from a year ago, which management links to shorter-tenure LTM AI deals. The CEO expects H2 to be better than H1, and the share trades near Rs 4,352 at 11:08 AM IST, down 0.87%.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

LTM AI deals are shorter in tenure, with the CEO saying standalone AI projects typically run six months to a year, so they convert to revenue faster but show up as lower total contract value. Order inflow in Q2 FY27 was $1.26 billion, down about 21% year on year and 25% from the previous quarter, and management says the sales team is now incentivised toward AI-native deals. The CEO expects H2 to beat H1 and full-year growth to come close to FY26, but no numeric guidance was given and H1 growth was only 5.4% in dollar terms. So LTM AI deals could lift H2 revenue growth if conversion is fast, but the evidence so far is the revenue mix, not a confirmed acceleration.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The question around LTM AI deals is whether a smaller headline order number hides faster revenue. Management says traditional total contract value understates LTM AI deals, while investors worry that lower inflow is an early warning for growth.<\/p>\n

This guide covers the Q2 FY27 numbers, how LTM AI deals differ from older contracts, what management said about H2, margins and risks. It is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell the share.<\/p>\n
