What the record says.
Tata Communications reported a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹6,554 crore (+9.4% YoY) and data revenue growth of 11.5% YoY to ₹5,684 crore. EBITDA grew 14.4% YoY to ₹1,284 crore, though margins contracted 86 bps YoY to 19.6% due to revenue mix shift. Digital portfolio revenue surged 16.7% YoY, led by next-gen connectivity (+24% YoY) and collaboration/CPaaS. Order booking saw double-digit YoY growth, with 70% of the funnel from digital fabric. Management emphasized a shift to profitable growth, targeting digital portfolio breakeven and absolute EBITDA expansion. Key risks include geopolitical headwinds in West Asia impacting events and potential cost pressures, though the company sees AI-driven demand as a long-term tailwind.
