Shares of KPIT Technologies fell sharply on Thursday morning, declining 4.51 per cent to ₹714.85 on the NSE by 11.14 am, after the automotive software company reported its Q4 FY2025-26 results on Wednesday, the last trading session.
The stock opened at ₹748.55 — barely changed from its previous close of ₹748.60 — before sellers pushed it down to a session low of ₹709.20. Traded volume stood at 51.53 lakh shares, with traded value crossing ₹370 crore by mid-morning, reflecting heavy investor activity. Buy and sell pressure were nearly evenly split, with buyers accounting for 50.4 per cent of total order quantity.
The stock has been under sustained pressure. It is down 38.51 per cent year-to-date and 44.25 per cent over the past year, significantly underperforming the Nifty 200’s 3.73 per cent gain in the same period. Its 52-week high of ₹1,434.50, hit in June 2025, now looks distant, with the stock currently trading closer to its 52-week low of ₹624.90 recorded in March 2026. The company’s total market capitalisation stands at approximately ₹19,603 crore.
The results that triggered Thursday’s selling showed KPIT posting Q4 revenue of ₹1,711 crore, up 12 per cent year-on-year in rupee terms, and EBITDA of ₹353.2 crore, growing 9.4 per cent over the same period last year. Full-year revenue in dollar terms grew 4.8 per cent to $724.8 million. However, annual PAT fell to ₹637.3 crore from ₹839.6 crore in FY25, weighed down by a one-time statutory impact from new labour codes, higher finance costs, and equity investee losses.
Management guided for a more promising FY27, citing growth in commercial vehicles, connected services, and new geographies. KPIT also announced a ₹5.25-per-share final dividend and disclosed a planned strategic acquisition of cybersecurity firm Cymotive for between $60 million and $120 million.
