Cyient's D segment Q4 FY26 revenue was $163.5M (₹1,500 Cr), down 2.4% QoQ CC and 1.5% YoY CC, impacted by client budget delays and geopolitical headwinds in West Asia. Gross margin expanded 114bps QoQ to 38.9%, while EBIT margin held at 12.4% despite revenue softness. PAT fell 9.1% YoY to ₹138 Cr due to lower other income. The board approved a ₹720 Cr buyback at ₹1,125/share, signaling confidence. Management guided for mid-to-high single-digit organic growth in FY27 and reiterated a 15% EBIT margin target by Q4 FY27. Key risks include prolonged geopolitical uncertainty and AI-driven compression in software services.
