Shares of Tech Mahindra today fell sharply by 10.5 per cent to hit a one-year low after the company warned of weak revenue and earnings in the April-June quarter due to higher visa costs and other headwinds.
Following the news, the stock tumbled 10.44 per cent to Rs 467.40 — its 52-week low at the BSE.
On the NSE, the scrip plunged 10.48 per cent to hit its one-year low of Rs 467.10.
“Q1 FY16 has some headwinds and tailwinds, which could see a risk of marginal decline in both revenue and EBITDA margin on a sequential basis,” the company said in a regulatory filing.
Seasonally weak mobility business, it said, “will be a drag on Q1 revenues and EBITDA’’.
Also, H1B visa costs will be a drag on margins.
However, “favourable currency movements could help both revenue and margin’’, it said.
The company also said FY16 organic communication growth could remain subdued due to delayed decision making.
