Coforge (ISIN INE591G01017) raised its fiscal 2027 earnings before interest and tax margin guidance from 15.5 percent to 16 percent on October 23, 2026. The company also reported second-quarter revenue of USD 652.20 million, up 40.10 percent year over year, according to Coforge. The figures make operating margin the key measure for the stock after a strong quarter.
Quarterly growth sets the tone
For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, Coforge reported earnings before interest and tax of USD 104.00 million, a 53.00 percent increase from the prior year, while the margin reached 16.00 percent. Profit after tax rose 42.70 percent year over year to USD 62.00 million, and EBITDA margin reached 20.60 percent, as reported by Reuters.
The order picture added operating support. Coforge said second-quarter order intake reached USD 1.04 billion, while its executable next-twelve-month order book rose 45.00 percent year over year to USD 2.38 billion. Eight large deals were signed during the quarter, the highest number in a single quarter cited in the company release.
What does the margin lift mean?
The guidance change gives investors a measurable test for the Encora integration and the company's AI-led delivery strategy. Revenue in Indian rupee terms rose 53.60 percent year over year to INR 61.708 billion in the September 2026 quarter, while reported EBIT margin expanded by 134 basis points from the prior year, according to Business Standard. The main counterweight is execution risk as the company absorbs acquired operations while expanding margins.
Three milestones shaped the year
On September 9, 2026, Coforge chairman O P Bhatt resigned after a board evaluation issue, as reported by Moneycontrol. On September 29, 2026, Akhil Gupta became chairperson for a five-year term, subject to shareholder approval, according to Coforge. On October 23, 2026, the company reported the September-quarter results and raised its fiscal 2027 margin guidance to 16 percent.
