Persistent Systems Q2 Profit Falls 25% Amid 30% Revenue Growth and Nagarro Acquisition
Persistent Systems reported a 25.4% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 351 crore for Q2 FY27, despite a 30.3% rise in revenue to Rs 4,664 crore. The company’s revenue growth was driven by strong performance in constant currency terms and a large Hitech deal, marking its 26th consecutive quarter of revenue increase. Profitability was impacted by acquisition-related expenses from its Nagarro deal, wage hikes, and amortisation costs. Persistent plans to raise Rs 9,000 crore through debt to fund the Nagarro acquisition. Analysts offered mixed views, with some maintaining buy ratings and others recommending hold.
