Coforge, Cyient outliers amid weak quarter for tech services
Live MintMid-cap information technology service providers, Cofo-rge and Cyient Group, proved outliers in their September quarter earnings filed at the BSE on Thursday. While bellwether large-caps, as well as mid-cap firms such as Larsen & Toubro Technology Services, Persistent Systems and Zensar Technologies, largely offered bleak September quarter figures and cautious commentary for the rest of this fiscal, both Coforge and Cyient group outperformed peers in maintaining operating margin and profitability—despite macroeconomic headwinds. Cyient reported September quarter revenue of $214.9 million for the entire group—up 4.6% sequentially and 22.3% year-on-year in constant currency. Sudhir Singh, chief executive of Coforge, said in a press statement that the company will retain its FY24 revenue growth guidance of 13-16%, as well as its 50bps margin expansion target.
