KPIT Technologies’ shares decline sharply after the company issues a guidance warning for the first quarter of FY27. Multiple outlets report that the stock hits the lower circuit (a 10% fall reported by Economic Times and NDTV) and trades at fresh lows, with one report noting a decline of around 17% and the worst fall since the 2020 COVID crash. The company says it expects Q1 FY27 revenues to decline year-on-year by roughly 1%, citing abrupt spending cuts or a sudden slowdown in orders from certain European automotive OEMs. The guidance also points to weaker margin performance in the near term. While the first half of FY27 is described as challenging, management reiterates that performance should improve in the second half, including stronger sequential momentum by the fourth quarter. One outlet also notes KPIT remains optimistic about longer-term growth supported by outsourcing and automation, even as the company navigates the current demand slowdown.
