Why Is Coforge Expecting An Exceptional FY27 Driven By AI Growth?
Coforge delivered a strong start to FY27 with better-than-expected organic growth, expanding operating margins and a record order pipeline. The company also completed the operational integration of Encora, significantly strengthening its Artificial Intelligence, cloud and digital engineering capabilities. Management believes FY27 could become one of the strongest years in the company's history.
Important Note On Q1 FY27 Results
Q1 FY27 is the first quarter to include the financial consolidation of Encora Holdings, following its acquisition on 23 April 2026.
As a result, quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year reported financial comparisons are not directly comparable with previous periods. Investors should therefore place greater emphasis on the company's reported organic growth metrics rather than headline reported growth.
