Tech Mahindra share price surged nearly 4% as investors welcomed solid Q3 results and improving business outlook
New Delhi: Shares of Tech Mahindra Ltd jumped nearly 4% in early trade today after the IT major reported better-than-expected Q3 FY26 earnings along with strong new deal wins, boosting investor confidence. The stock beat the broader market and the IT index as traders welcomed the improved profitability and a strong order pipeline.
Strong Q3 performance exceeds market expectations
Tech Mahindra had a remarkable result in the third quarter of fiscal year 26. The company reported a net profit of approximately ₹1,122 crore, up 14% from the same period last year. Revenue increased by over 8% year-on-year to roughly ₹14,393 crore, with key business segments driving the expansion.
The results exceeded market expectations, which triggered a sharp rally in the stock during today’s trading session.
Margins Improve for Ninth Straight Quarter
One of the main highlights of the quarter was the continued improvement in operating margins. Tech Mahindra’s EBIT margin rose to around 13.1%, representing the ninth consecutive quarter of margin growth. The company reported EBIT of nearly ₹1,892 crore, showing strong cost control and better execution.

While net profit declined slightly on a quarter-on-quarter basis, this was mainly due to one-time costs linked to labour code adjustments. Analysts said the impact was temporary and did not affect the company’s long-term outlook.
Deal Wins Cross $1 Billion Mark
Another major factor behind today’s stock rally was Tech Mahindra’s strong deal wins during the quarter. The company secured new contracts worth about $1.096 billion, the highest quarterly deal value in several years. This marks a 47% jump compared to the same period last year and a 34% rise sequentially.
Management stated that deal momentum remained strong across sectors such as communications, manufacturing, retail, transport, logistics and digital services. Several large deals came from European and global telecom clients, strengthening future revenue visibility.
Strong Business Momentum
Tech Mahindra’s leadership stated that the recent twelve months’ deal wins are the strongest in nearly five years, indicating increased client confidence. The company also mentioned the increased demand for digital transformation, cloud services, and AI-powered solutions, which are opening up new business opportunities.
The management also stated that its ongoing turnaround strategy is producing results, with a focus on margin expansion, rigorous execution, and major deal conversions.
Stock Outperforms Broader Market
Following the earnings report, Tech Mahindra shares rose about 4% in early trade, outperforming the Nifty 50 and the IT index. The rally shows optimistic investor mood at a time when markets are closely watching corporate earnings for guidance.
Market participants said the strong results and healthy deal pipeline helped Tech Mahindra stand out among IT peers this earnings season.
Analysts Remain Cautiously Positive
Brokerages largely described the Q3 performance as an “all-round beat”, especially on margins and deal wins. Some analysts upgraded earnings estimates for the coming years, citing improving operational efficiency and strong order inflows.
However, some brokerages urged investors to stay cautious over valuation concerns, noting that a large part of the turnaround optimism may already be reflected in the stock price. Even so, most analysts believe that Tech Mahindra’s core business strength has improved significantly compared to previous years.
