 "Cyient hits 52-week high post Q3 results")
Cyient hit a 52-week high of Rs 622, up 7% on BSE in early morning trade, after the company reported 1.3% quarter on quarter (QoQ) dollar revenue growth at $152 million in December quarter. Services revenue grew 4.2% (4.4% in constant currency) on QoQ was highest ever at $139.9 million.
In rupee terms, revenue grew 1.9% to Rs 9.83 billion on sequential basis. Net profit for the quarter declined 2.4% QoQ at Rs 1.09 billion without one offs.
“Operating margin sustained at 14.6% QoQ and 116 bps expansion year on year (YoY), despite the headwind of higher pay days,” Cyient said in a press release.
“Q3 FY18 was in line with our expectations both in revenue and margin. The growth in services business was driven by utilities & geospatial (U&G), transportation, industrial, energy and natural resources (IENR) and aerospace business units. The Design Led Manufacturing (DLM) business recorded a de-growth of 23.2% due to pushout of an order to Q4,” Krishna Bodanapu, MD & CEO, Cyient said.
The outlook for FY18 is strong, backed by a strong pipeline and order backlog. We expect a double digit growth in services business while DLM business is expected to grow around 20%. The margin will improve by 50 bps driven by improvement in operational efficiency through the year. We expect to deliver double digit earning growth in the year, he added.
