Executive Summary
The BSE IT sector filings highlight corporate restructuring and deleveraging themes, with Coforge's NCLT-sanctioned amalgamation of Cigniti (April 29, 2026, Appointed Date April 1, 2025) delivering standout period-over-period gains: EBITDA margins expanded 800 bps from 11% to 19% in six quarters, top two clients' revenue tripled from $25M to $75M ($15M to $45M and $10M to $30M), and new $24M (SW) + $62M (NT) deals forming a $2.5Bn AI-led entity with $2Bn core services. Promoter reclassifications signal maturity in KPIT (approved April 29, 2026, 0.82% stake or 22.46L shares) and Infosys (application submitted post-April 30 Board approval). Debt trends are positive: Cyient's borrowings declined 20.8% YoY from ₹98.2Cr to ₹77.8Cr (FY26), Sonata at nil with AA- rating. Neutral regulatory confirmations (non-Large Corp status) across Sonata/Cyient reduce compliance burdens. Portfolio-level: Margin expansion outlier in Coforge vs flat/neutral peers, consolidation boosts scale amid low insider activity/debt, implying bullish sector stability but watch integration risks.
