MOFSL&#8217;s top-end assumption implies mild improvement in CQGR over FY26, while the bottom end factors in ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. The company&#8217;s all-weather portfolio \u2014 spanning BFSI, technology, and manufacturing \u2014 has historically provided better guidance visibility than peers.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Products_and_Platforms_Business\"><\/span><strong>Products and Platforms Business<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>HCL&#8217;s software products segment (HCL Software) contributes disproportionately to margins. However, MOFSL flags that Q4 margins are expected to contract ~140 basis points QoQ due to wage hikes and a decline in high-margin products and platforms business. Any positive surprise here would be margin-accretive.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BFSI_and_Technology_Vertical_Performance\"><\/span><strong>BFSI and Technology Vertical Performance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>HCL Tech&#8217;s BFSI and technology verticals have been key growth drivers. JM Financial notes strength in these verticals as a core part of its Add thesis. Q4 deal wins from banking and financial services clients \u2014 especially in Europe where HCL has strong relationships \u2014 will be closely watched.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interim_Dividend_for_FY26\"><\/span><strong>Interim Dividend for FY26<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>The board will consider an interim dividend at the April 21 meeting.

The market will trade on FY27 guidance and any positive development in the products business. MOFSL, the most bullish voice on HCL Tech, sees it as the fastest-growing large-cap IT name and its top pick in the space. At Rs.1,380 and down 25% in one year, the risk-reward for patient investors is arguably the most compelling in the large-cap IT sector.<\/p><p>This article is for informational and educational purposes only.
