📍 Mumbai | July 5, 2025

Tata Elxsi’s share price came under pressure on Friday after the company reported a 22% year-on-year drop in net profit for the first quarter of FY26. The stock opened lower on the NSE at ₹6,990 and slipped nearly 3% in intraday trade, touching a low of ₹6,765 before recovering slightly by the closing bell.

The IT and engineering design services company posted a net profit of ₹144 crore for Q1 FY26, compared to ₹184 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. Revenue from operations also declined marginally to ₹837.9 crore, falling short of street expectations.

📉 Investor Sentiment Turns Cautious

The earnings disappointment weighed on investor sentiment, especially as Tata Elxsi had been trading at premium valuations amid strong long-term growth projections in AI, automotive, and healthcare tech services. Analysts attributed the drop in share price to a combination of muted financial performance and global macroeconomic uncertainty.

Brokerages expect the stock to remain under pressure in the near term as the company navigates a slowdown in discretionary spending across Europe and North America.

“The Q1 numbers reflect headwinds in the industry. The margin contraction and revenue decline are likely to affect short-term sentiment,” said a Mumbai-based equity analyst.
