Persistent Systems Q4 profits surged by 34% to ₹529 crore, while the top line touched ₹4,056 crore. ₹18 per share final dividend announced by the board.

Persistent Systems reported strong performance in Q4FY26. The company’s profit after tax (PAT) stood at ₹529 crore, rising around 34% year-on-year (YoY), and 20.4% sequentially from ₹439 crore in the previous quarter.

On 21 April 2026, Persistent Systems' share price closed at ₹5,329.90 on the NSE, but it might get more attention from investors when the market reopens following the company's announcement.

Revenue:

The company reported a Q4 revenue of ₹4,056 crore, 7.4% higher than the previous quarter when it was ₹3,778 crore. On a yearly basis, revenue growth stood at around 25% thanks to strong deal wins and steady execution across segments. This is one of the company’s highest-ever quarterly revenue figures.

Profit:

Persistent's net profit of ₹529 crore was 34% higher than last year and 20.4% higher than Q3. Profit before tax (PBT) stood at ₹674 crore, 33% more YoY and 19% higher than the previous quarter.

Operations:

Revenue and net income increased substantially but operating results were a bit of a mixed bag. EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Tax) totalled ₹659 crore a rise of 21.4% on sequential basis. However, the EBIT margin was 16.3% as opposed to 16.7% in the preceding quarter. Although the PAT went up, the margins were down slightly, most probably because of increased costs or the changes in the mix of the products.

Another accomplishment of Q4 was the excellent order intake with a Total Contract Value (TCV) of $600.8 million. This indicates sustained demand and is a good foundation for future growth.

Due to the strong performance, the company’s board has recommended a final dividend of ₹18 per share, which makes it a total of ₹40 per share for the entire year.
