LTIMindtree Ltd Q2FY26 | When AI Meets ROI: ₹10,394 Cr Revenue, ₹1,381 Cr Profit, and a Dividend Shower That Even Infosys Might Envy

1. At a Glance

Welcome to the ₹1.65 lakh crore digital circus calledLTIMindtree Ltd, where code meets cash and PowerPoint decks meet Wall Street swagger. This quarter (Q2FY26), the merged behemoth of Larsen & Toubro’s IT twins has once again flexed its digital biceps — clocking₹10,394 crore in revenue,₹1,381 crore in profit, and declaring aninterim dividend of ₹22 per share, because why not sprinkle some love while AI agents are still learning empathy.

At ₹5,561 per share, the company’sP/E ratio of 33.9xscreams “premium,” while itsROCE of 27.6%andROE of 21.5%whisper “but we’re not just PowerPoint consultants.” In the last 3 months, the stock has inched up by4.96%, and in 6 months, a respectable22.7%, proving that even in a sector where ChatGPT writes code and humans write prompts, LTIMindtree still finds a way to stay relevant (and profitable).

Withrevenue growth of 10.2% YoYandPAT growth of 12%, LTIM is playing the long game—balancing aggressive digital transformation deals, AI investments, and the eternal IT industry mantra: “This quarter was stable, but next quarter will be better.”

2. Introduction – The AI-powered Mahabharata of Indian IT

Some companies merge for synergy. LTIMindtree merged for survival, scale, and probably because their clients were tired of getting two invoices from the same parent company. Formed from the holy matrimony ofL&T InfotechandMindtree, the hybrid entity has been trying to prove that 1+1 can equal something more than a Zoom fatigue headache.

This digital colossus operates in38 countries, serves700+ clients, and has86,800 employees— that’s more people than the entire population of some island nations, all working to make sure your online bank statement loads 0.2 seconds faster.

But here’s the kicker — LTIM isn’t just riding the IT wave; it’s trying to surf the AI tsunami. With projects likeBlueVerse AI (300+ agents), deals withEurobank, and a₹792 crore government PAN 2.0 contract, the company is essentially saying, “Move over, Infosys and TCS — we’ve got our own AI army now.”

Yet, beneath this optimism lies a familiar tale: global macro uncertainty, client furloughs, pricing pressure, and that eternal Indian IT soundtrack — “We expect improvement in the next quarter.”

So, is LTIMindtree the tech titan that finally dethrones the old guard, or just another software giant running on PowerPoint fumes? Let’s dig in.

3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?

Imagine a digital Swiss Army knife with a dozen blades, each labelled “Transformation.” That’s LTIMindtree. The company helps clients with everything — fromcloud migrationandcybersecuritytoAI integration,application maintenance, andinfrastructure management.

In simpler terms: if your company’s servers go down, LTIM’s team will reboot it, monitor it, automate it, and then bill you for “digital excellence enablement.”

Theirrevenue mixtells the story:

  • BFSI (36%)– The bread, butter, and often the headache.
  • Tech, Media & Comms (24%)– Because streaming your cricket match needs someone’s code.
  • Manufacturing & Resources (19%)– Industrial IoT, digital twins, and PowerPoint promises.
  • Consumer Business (14%)– Retail clients who think every issue is “urgent.”
  • Healthcare, Life Sciences & Public Services (6%)– Because even AI needs patients.

Geographically,North America contributes 75%of revenue — proving that when it comes to IT exports, Uncle Sam is still India’s most loyal customer.

So yes, LTIMindtree is not building flying cars or humanoid robots — but it’s the reason your bank app doesn’t crash on salary day. And for that, they deserve some applause (and maybe hazard pay).

4. Financials Overview

MetricLatest Qtr (Q2FY26)YoY Qtr (Q2FY25)Prev Qtr (Q1FY26)YoY %QoQ %
Revenue (₹ Cr)10,3949,4339,84110.2%5.6%
EBITDA (₹ Cr)1,9301,6991,64913.6%17.0%
PAT (₹ Cr)1,3811,2521,25510.3%10.0%
EPS (₹)47.342.242.312.1%11.8%

At an annualized EPS of₹189, LTIMindtree’s P/E recalculates to~29.4x, which is cheaper than its reported trailing P/E (33.9x) — meaning if the growth holds, the valuation may not be as inflated as your Netflix bill.

Commentary:LTIM’s margins are healthy, not heavenly. EBITDA margins improved to18.6%, showing

that Project Fortius and their obsession with utilization rates (85%) are finally paying off. But the 10% PAT growth? That’s the IT equivalent of saying, “We’re doing fine, but we’re not bragging yet.”

6. What’s Cooking – News, Triggers, Drama

Oh, it’s spicy!

  • ₹792 Cr PAN 2.0 project– LTIM gets to rebuild India’s PAN infrastructure. Expect every taxpayer’s rage email to be their new stress test.
  • $450 Mn Agribusiness deal– Seven-year AI-led contract. Translation: AI will predict when your crops need saving while humans debug the code.
  • NextEra JV with Aramco Digital– A Middle East move to ride Saudi’s Vision 2030 wave. Oil meets code — that’s a plot twist!
  • BlueVerse AI Launch– 300+ AI agents, marketing bots, and CCaaS tools. Basically, a robot army with PowerPoint decks.
  • Leadership shuffle– Debashis Chatterjee retired;Venu Lambutakes over as CEO & MD from May 2025. The board probably prayed this time the transition won’t affect quarterly margins.

So, what’s next? Another digital transformation deal, of course. Because in IT, “transformation” never ends — it just gets rebranded.

Auditor’s Sarcasm:A debt-to-equity ratio of0.10— almost negligible. They could repay their debt with two months of net profit. But the ₹32,524 Cr balance sheet now
