R Systems - Stable Quarter | Q2CY26 Company Update
R Systems’ Q2CY26 results were broadly in line with expectations, with revenue growing 1.2% QoQ in USD (4.7% QoQ in INR), supported by improving execution and AI-led deal conversions. EBITDA margin expanded to 18.4%, aided by operating leverage and improved utilization despite continued investments in AI capabilities and SG&A. ACV remained healthy at USD 82.9mn, while management highlighted improving pipeline quality and increasing AI-led engagements. We have downward revised our revenue estimates by 0.9%/4.8%/6.8% for CY26E/CY27E/CY28E to reflect lower organic growth and a slower-than-expected pace of large deal closures. However, we have increased our earnings estimates by 2.7%/1.5% for CY27/CY28E to factor in better-than-expected EBITDA margins. We have also reduced our target multiple to 16x (from 20x) to reflect the moderation in the company's growth outlook. We arrive at a TP of Rs 410 (previously Rs 470). Due to recent correction in the stock price and attractive valuations, we maintain our BUY rating.
R Systems International Ltd. Stock Price Chart
Revenue growth driven by AI-led execution; pipeline quality continues to improve:
R Systems reported 1.2%/17.7% QoQ/YoY growth in USD terms (4.7%/30.2% QoQ/YoY in INR terms). Growth was supported by stronger execution across AI, cloud and data transformation engagements along with continued contribution from Novigo. Management highlighted that AI-led engagements now constitute a larger proportion of new deal wins. The company continues to witness healthy traction across Agentic AI, legacy modernization, data modernization and enterprise AI transformation projects. Bookings remained healthy with TTM ACV at USD 82.9mn and management expects H1 bookings to translate into stronger H2 revenue realization.
Margins expanded to 18%+; investments in AI and GTM to continue:
EBITDA margin improved to 18.4%, expanding 90bps/320bps QoQ/YoY driven by better utilization and operating leverage. Sequential margins improved despite higher SG&A. Management continues to invest aggressively in AI talent, AI platforms, sales leadership and marketing to strengthen its AI-first positioning. The management reiterated its objective of sustaining 18%+ EBITDA margins over the medium term while balancing growth investments.
Outlook:
Management remains constructive on the demand environment as enterprises continue to prioritize AI-led transformation, engineering productivity, legacy modernization and cloud migration. The company is witnessing improving pipeline quality which is driving ACV growth. AI-enabled delivery is already driving meaningful productivity improvements, with management highlighting nearly 2x developer productivity and 55% faster turnaround time in client engagements. While these are encouraging tailwinds, we continue to see a lack of large deal wins and meaningful wallet share expansion. The company remains exposed to discretionary spending, which continues to be weak across the US. Consequently, we expect growth to remain subdued in H2CY26E amid the challenging demand environment.
Valuation:
We broadly maintain our earnings estimates as results were largely in-line with our estimates. However, we have reduced our revenue estimates by 0.9%/4.8%/-6.8% for CY26E/CY27E/CY28E and we now expect 7-8% CC growth vs 11-12%. We have marginally increased our EBITDA estimates to factor in improving operational efficiency along with AI productivity gains. We have cut our target multiple to 16x (20x previously) to factor in slower growth for CY27E/CY28E. Key monitorable remain discretionary IT spending recovery, pace of AI deal conversion, sustainability of margin expansion. We expect the company to deliver 15.3%/20.5%/19.7% Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR over CY25-28E. Stock is trading at attractive valuations of 11.2x/9.6x CY27E/CY28E. We rollover our estimates to Q3CY27E and arrive at a TP of Rs 410 (Rs 470 previously). Due to recent correction in the stock price and attractive valuations, we maintain our BUY rating. Key risks: Slower-than-expected large deal wins, reduced spending by clients and weaker renewal activity could weigh on growth over CY27E.
