Anil Singhvi on HCL Tech performance
Anil Singhvi, Managing Editor of Zee Business, called HCL Tech’s results “strong on all parameters.” He noted that the company’s revenue exceeded estimates, and there was a small upgrade in service business guidance, reflecting healthy growth momentum.
Singhvi also pointed out that advanced AI revenue now contributes 3 per cent of total revenue, marking a significant step in the company’s technology-led expansion. He cautioned, however, that Q3 margins could be slightly lower, which remains a near-term risk.
