Digitide Solutions Q2FY26 Concall Decoded: “AI Dreams, Margin Nightmares, and a $1 Billion Fixation”

1. Opening Hook

In a world where everyone wants to be “AI-first,” Digitide just wentAI-all-in. While the CEO pitched a USD 1 billion dream with a 3×3×3 plan, investors quietly calculated how many quarters that actually means. 🤖 The company claims it’s in “transition,” but to the market, that’s code forplease ignore margins for now. Still, between AWS tie-ups, hackathon wins, and 24 shiny new logos, it seems Digitide’s future is writing itself—possibly in Python. Stick around; things get algorithmically interesting later.

2. At a Glance

  • Revenue up 7% YoY:Growth so stable it could be a BPM script.
  • EBITDA ₹85 cr, up 3% QoQ:Margins stayed polite but unimpressive.
  • PAT ₹17 cr (adjusted):Because “adjusted” is the new profitable.
  • Tech & Digital up 23% YoY:AI clearly writes better cheques than humans.
  • International revenue 37% mix:Dollar billing therapy in full swing.
  • Gross debt ₹49 cr, cash ₹77 cr:Liquidity yoga—balanced and flexible.
