KPIT reports Q4FY26 revenue growth of 12.0% YoY (5.8% QoQ) and EBITDA growth of 9.4% YoY (6.0% QoQ), with margins maintained. PAT declined 33.4% YoY but grew 22.2% QoQ. Healthy deal wins of $349M closed.
KPIT delivered decent Q4FY26 revenue and EBITDA growth, with margins maintained. Healthy deal wins and a strong pipeline, particularly in Products & Solutions, support future growth. However, a significant YoY PAT decline and declining headcount warrant scrutiny, especially as the company plans increased investments and two large SDV programs conclude in H1 FY27.
Latest issuer-disclosed distribution across 3 reported categories.
Q4FY26 growth was led by Off-Highway and Connected segments. Commercial (On & Off-Highway) is expected to show solid growth in FY27.

Trust asks: does management behaviour match later outcomes? Higher is better, but confidence and evidence depth matter as much as the number.
Mixed Trust: Management has 58% delivered/partly-delivered outcomes on 12 checked claims, with 5 adverse claim outcomes. It ranks around the 38th percentile of the scored universe and 36th percentile within IT. Main check: results consistency is weak at 39/100.
Healthy Trust: 12/16 extracted management claims have outcome checks; 58% were fully delivered and 0 were partially delivered. 5 claim(s) were contradicted or failed. Key concern: 5/12 matched management claims were contradicted or failed.
Usable, but needs evidence. Treat guidance with a margin of safety.

Read Trust alongside U-Score, result consistency, and technical trend. A cheap stock with weak Trust needs a larger margin of safety; a high Trust score does not make an expensive stock attractive by itself.
Read low sub-scores as due-diligence warnings, not automatic sell signals.
