Birlasoft Q3 results preview

On what market is expecting from Birlasoft results in Q3FY24 period, Dhruv Mudaraddi, Research Analyst at StoxBox said, "In Q3FY24, Birlasoft Ltd. is poised for low single-digit QoQ growth in CC terms, buoyed by favorable conditions in the manufacturing and insurance sectors, although tempered by headwinds in the life sciences domain. The primary drivers of this growth trajectory are Cloud, Data analytics, and ERP services. Despite the revenue uptick, a slight decline in EBIT margins is anticipated, primarily attributed to the impact of a two-month wage hike offset to some extent by cost optimization efforts and net currency benefits."
