Cyient Q3 Results: Net profit slides 28% QoQ; revenue, margins rise; AI focus to aid recovery

Cyient reported a mixed performance in Q3, with net profit falling sharply while revenue and operating metrics showed steady growth. The engineering and technology solutions firm posted a net profit of ₹91.8 crore,

down 28% from ₹127.5 crore in the previous quarter.

Revenue rose 3.8% quarter-on-quarter to ₹1,848.5 crore from ₹1,781 crore, while EBIT grew 13.6% to ₹167 crore, compared with ₹147 crore in Q2. The EBIT margin expanded to 9% from 8.2% QoQ, supported by operational efficiency and a shift toward higher-value projects.

The company attributed soft revenue performance to customer-specific pushouts due to year-end holidays and tariff-related uncertainties, but expects recovery in the upcoming quarters. “We continue to strengthen our margin profile across revenue and order backlog, delivering double-digit EBITDA margins, primarily driven by efficient execution and a favourable mix shift toward higher-value programs,” the company said in a statement.

Cyient is also focusing on building India’s AI-ready workforce through initiatives such as the launch of AI & future skills centres of excellence in the North East. These programmes aim to accelerate inclusive AI skilling and advance the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, creating a resilient and employable workforce at scale.

Commenting on the results, Krishna Bodanapu, Executive Vice Chairman and Managing Director, said, “This quarter, Cyient Group sustained its growth momentum, delivering results in line with expectations across key segments, even amid a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. Our cash position and profitability give me immense confidence that we are well positioned to drive growth across our balanced and diversified portfolio of DET, DLM, and semiconductors. We continue to invest in domain-led and AI-enabled solutions to deliver intelligent engineering outcomes at scale.”

Prabhakar Atla, President and CFO, added, “With an all-round recovery, we remain on track to exit FY26 on a strong note.”

Shares of Cyient ended higher on Thursday, January 22, by 1.41% at ₹1,139 on the NSE.
