Quick Answer
Tata Elxsi and Tata Technologies reported almost the same profit for Q2 FY27, Rs 170 crore against Rs 171.44 crore, but the market reacted in opposite directions. Tata Elxsi shares rose as much as 8.16% to Rs 3,706 on 14 October 2026 after its EBIT margin improved by 70 basis points to 19.7%, while Tata Technologies fell about 5% on 15 October to Rs 707.65 after a margin and profit miss. Tata Technologies grew revenue faster at 28.4%, but Tata Elxsi earns a higher margin and a higher profit on each rupee of sales. Neither stock is a clear winner, because brokerages see downside to their target price in both, so use this comparison as a research aid and not as a recommendation.
Tata Elxsi and Tata Technologies are the two listed engineering and research and development services companies in the Tata Group, and both reported Q2 FY27 numbers within a day of each other. The headline question is which stock won the report card.
This article puts the Tata Elxsi and Tata Technologies results side by side, covers the share price moves, and lists the brokerage target price views. It also flags the points where my sources disagree, so you can check them before you act.

Tata Elxsi Q2 FY27 Results: Profit and Revenue
| Metric | Q2 FY27 | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from operations | Rs 1,056 crore | Up 3.4% QoQ; up 15% YoY from Rs 918 crore (Business Standard) |
| Revenue in constant currency | Not stated in Rs | Up 2.3% QoQ; up 7.8% YoY (Nirmal Bang) |
| EBIT | Rs 208 crore | Up 7.3% QoQ from Rs 194 crore |
| EBIT margin | 19.7% | Up 70 basis points QoQ from 19.0% |
| Net profit | Rs 170.30 crore | Up 10.0% YoY from Rs 154.82 crore; down 0.2% QoQ |
| Total income | Rs 1,090.57 crore | Up 12.8% YoY from Rs 966.98 crore |
| Other income | Rs 35 crore | Down from Rs 49 crore a year earlier |
The company announced the results on 13 October 2026 after market hours. The profit rose 10% from a year ago, which matches the headline, but it was flat from the June quarter, and several data sites call it a flat result. Both statements are true because they use different base periods.
The segment picture was even. In constant currency, Media and Communications grew 3.4% QoQ, Healthcare and Life Sciences grew 3.5% and Transportation grew 2%. CEO Manoj Raghavan said the focus on operational efficiency lifted the margin and that the company is investing in generative AI across its verticals.
Risk: Revenue growth of 2.3% in constant currency is modest, and the 7.8% year on year figure is far below the 15% in rupee terms, so currency helped the headline number.

Tata Technologies Q2 FY27 Results: Profit and Revenue
| Metric | Q2 FY27 | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | Rs 1,698.80 crore | Up 28.4% YoY from Rs 1,323.33 crore |
| Revenue in US dollars | $177.9 million | Up 19.1% YoY; up 1.4% QoQ organic in constant currency |
| EBITDA | Rs 273.3 crore | Up 31.5% YoY; margin 16.1%, up 40 basis points |
| EBIT margin | 12.9% | Below the 13.5% that MOFSL expected |
| Net profit | Rs 171.44 crore | Up about 3.6% YoY from Rs 165.50 crore |
| Services revenue | Rs 1,355.7 crore | Up 33.9%; about 80% of revenue |
| Technology Solutions revenue | Rs 343.1 crore | Up 10.5% |
Tata Technologies reported on 14 October 2026 after market hours. Revenue grew far faster than at Tata Elxsi, but profit grew only about 3.6%, so the extra revenue did not reach the bottom line. The sources I reviewed do not say how much of the 28.4% growth came from acquisitions, so I do not split it.
The company has 12,895 employees, an attrition rate of 15.6% and a mix of 65% onshore and 35% offshore work. CEO Warren Harris said he is confident of strong double digit growth for the full year, while the CFO flagged near term challenges.
Risk: Adjusted profit missed the Rs 200.4 crore that MOFSL expected, and the EBIT margin of 12.9% was below its 13.5% estimate.

Tata Elxsi vs Tata Technologies: Head to Head
| Measure | Elxsi | Tata Technologies |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit | Rs 170.30 crore | Rs 171.44 crore |
| Revenue | Rs 1,055.7 crore | Rs 1,698.80 crore |
| Net profit margin (my calculation) | About 16.1% | About 10.1% |
| Profit growth YoY | 10.0% | About 3.6% |
| Revenue growth YoY | 15% in rupees; 7.8% in constant currency | 28.4% in rupees; 19.1% in dollars |
| Operating margin | EBIT margin 19.7% | EBIT margin 12.9%; EBITDA margin 16.1% |
| Share price reaction | Up as much as 8.16% on 14 Oct | Down about 5% on 15 Oct |
On profit quality, Tata Elxsi wins. It produced the same profit as Tata Technologies on about 38% less revenue (my calculation: 1,055.7 against 1,698.80), and its profit grew faster. On revenue growth, Tata Technologies wins by a wide margin, though acquisitions may explain part of it.
Valuation cuts the other way. MOFSL says Tata Technologies trades at 32 times FY28 estimated earnings, a 90% premium to KPIT Technologies and a 31% premium to Tata Elxsi. A higher multiple on a weaker profit result explains why the Tata Technologies shares fell more.
Risk: Winning the report card does not make a stock good value or a buy, and these shares also carry a Sell rating from several brokerages.
Share Price Moves: Tata Elxsi Rally and Tata Technologies Fall
| Date | Elxsi | Tata Technologies |
|---|---|---|
| 13 Oct 2026 | Closed at Rs 3,426.70, up 5.21% | Results due after market |
| 14 Oct 2026 | Intraday high Rs 3,706 (up 8.16%); last Rs 3,693 (up 7.78%) | Closed at Rs 745.55, up 0.25% |
| 15 Oct 2026 | Not covered in my sources | Fell about 5% to Rs 707.65 |
The 5.21% gain on 13 October and the 7.78% gain on 14 October compound to about 13.4% in two sessions (my calculation). The headline cites a gain of about 22.8% for Tata Elxsi in a week and about 6.36% for Tata Technologies, and I could not verify either figure. The 6.36% gain for Tata Technologies also conflicts with the roughly 5% fall I found on 15 October, so check the exact dates and base prices.
One source puts Tata Elxsi at Rs 3,666.90 and describes it as down 7.01%, which looks like a sign error because the same report calls it a gain. I use the gain.
Risk: A sharp one day rally in Tata Elxsi can fade quickly if the next quarter does not confirm the margin gain.
Tata Elxsi and Tata Technologies Target Price Views
| Brokerage | Stock | Rating and target price |
|---|---|---|
| MOFSL | Elxsi | Sell, Rs 2,970 |
| Mirae Asset | Elxsi | Sell, Rs 3,020 |
| Kotak Securities | Elxsi | Sell, Rs 3,200 |
| 360 ONE | Elxsi | Sell, Rs 2,840 (lowest, raised from Rs 2,780) |
| Choice Broking | Elxsi | Add, Rs 3,520 |
| Nirmal Bang | Elxsi | Hold, Rs 3,825 |
| Axis Capital | Elxsi | Rs 4,950 (highest) |
| Bloomberg consensus | Elxsi | Rs 3,442, about 5.8% below the Rs 3,693 price |
| MOFSL | Tata Technologies | Sell, Rs 630 (26 times FY28 estimated earnings) |
| JM Financial | Tata Technologies | Reduce, Rs 735 (from Rs 730) |
The spread of target price calls on Tata Elxsi is very wide, from Rs 2,840 to Rs 4,950, which shows how far the analysts disagree on the pace of the recovery. Nirmal Bang expects the second half to be better than the first and ties it to deal ramp ups and closures. 360 ONE calls the quarter strong on revenue and margin but expects the margin improvement to be gradual.
For Tata Technologies, both brokerages I found see the stock at or above fair value. The Rs 630 target of MOFSL implies a fall of about 11% from Rs 707.65 (my calculation), and the Rs 735 target of JM Financial implies a rise of about 4%.
Risk: A target price is an opinion at one date, and it changes after each result.
What to Watch Next for Tata Elxsi and Tata Technologies
- Conversion of European deals at Tata Elxsi, which analysts say is delayed by weak auto demand in Europe
- Timing of the Aerospace and Defence ramp up at Tata Elxsi, seen two to three quarters away
- Whether the EBIT margin of Tata Elxsi holds near 19.7% after salary revisions
- Tata Technologies margin recovery from 12.9% and any update on its full year double digit growth guidance
- Attrition at Tata Technologies, now 15.6%
- Target price changes from brokerages after the next quarter
Conclusion
Tata Elxsi wins the Q2 FY27 report card on profit growth, margin and market reaction, while Tata Technologies wins on revenue growth. Both stocks face brokerage Sell or Reduce calls, so the next two quarters matter more than this one.
