Kellton Tech reported Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹308 crore, up 2.7% QoQ, with EBITDA of ₹39.7 crore (12.9% margin) and PAT of ₹25.5 crore (8.3% margin). Growth was driven by AI-led legacy modernization and ServiceNow deals, including a 4-million-line code conversion project. Management highlighted 20-30% efficiency gains on outcome-based projects via AI tools, but noted most clients restrict AI use in T&M contracts, limiting margin expansion. Guidance remains vague; no specific revenue or margin targets were provided. A key risk is that AI efficiency benefits may be passed to clients rather than retained, capping margin upside. The SAS sell-off was dismissed as a market overreaction, with management confident in enterprise demand.
