The short read
AXISCADES reported FY26 revenue growth of 12.4% and EBITDA growth of 24.6% with margin expansion to 15.3%, while Q4 results were affected by a revenue recognition deferment, portfolio restructuring costs, and a higher tax base. Management explained that 142 crores of Q4 revenue shifted into FY27 due to supply chain disruptions and a divestment-related transition, and that reported PAT declined 4.3% year-on-year despite operating growth. The company also detailed a divestment of its heavy engineering, energy, and automotive practice to Akkodis, the creation of a new subsidiary called Xida Inc, and capacity investments in Devanahalli and Hyderabad.
