Emkay Global, which sees 3 per cent QoQ dollar revenue growth after factoring in 100bps contribution from HPE Telco and Jaspersoft and 10bps cross-currency headwinds said all eyes will be on FY27 outlook. It said investors will follow commentary on any possibility of recovery in discretionary spending in 2H and impact from increased macro and geopolitical uncertainties on the pace of decision making and tech spending. Growth outlook for ER&D and Software businesses; demand outlook for major verticals like BFSI, Manufacturing, Technology, Communications, Retail, and Healthcare; and impact of furlough in 3Q will be keenly watched.
