Revenue Growth & Demand: Local currency revenue grew 7% in Q4 and 5% for full-year FY26, driven by broad-based geographic expansion and large-scale reinvention deals.

Bullish Signals

Q4 revenue surpassed the top end of guidance with 7% local currency growth, demonstrating continued market share gains.

Key Investor Debate

The primary investor debate centers on the sustainability of organic revenue growth as enterprise IT budgets remain constrained.
