KPIT Technologies:

Broken Company or Broken Stock Price?

Let's Deep dive.

Please RETWEET FOR MAXIMUM REACH.

KPIT Technologies is a fascinating case study in what happens when a great business meets a brutal valuation reset.

The stock has fallen roughly 60–70% from its peak, raising the obvious question: has the business broken—or only the stock price?

1. First, understand what KPIT sells 👇

KPIT isn't simply another TCS/Infosys-style IT services company.

Its core expertise is Automotive ER&D, particularly software for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs): battery-management systems, ADAS, braking systems and other vehicle software.

That niche created exceptional economics:

• EBITDA margins above 20%
• Strong growth
• High-value relationships with global automakers
• A spectacular stock-price run from ~₹100 to ~₹1,900

But success created another problem: valuation.

At the peak, KPIT traded at more than 100× earnings—a valuation that required near-perfect execution.

2. Then the operating environment changed 😱

The European auto industry entered a difficult phase.

EV adoption slowed, Chinese EV competition intensified and European OEMs faced enormous electrification costs.

Automakers responded by cutting or postponing discretionary R&D spending.

KPIT was vulnerable because of its client concentration. BMW alone reportedly contributed around 12% of revenue.

The result?

Revenue weakened, but profits fell faster because of operating leverage. Q1 FY27 net profit reportedly declined ~28% despite revenue falling only ~2%.

3. The bigger warning was organic growth😢

Headline revenue growth can sometimes hide deterioration underneath.

KPIT's acquisitions helped support reported growth while organic growth had already turned negative.

That distinction is critical.

When analysing any acquisitive company, always ask:

How much growth is coming from the existing business?

Revenue growth created through acquisitions isn't equivalent to healthy underlying demand.

4. Watch the order book—not just revenue🔖

One of the most important lessons here is TCV/order inflow.

Reported TCV reportedly declined from ~₹380 crore in Q4 FY25 to ~₹273 crore by Q3 FY26.

That was a warning signal.

In project-based businesses:

Orders → execution → revenue → earnings

Therefore, weakening order inflows can warn investors about future revenue quarters before the income statement catches up.

5. The Chinese EV threat may be structural🤢

This is potentially more important than a temporary European slowdown.

European OEMs can take years to develop new software architectures, while Chinese EV manufacturers are reportedly moving much faster.

If Chinese manufacturers continue taking global market share—and increasingly build software capabilities internally—the addressable market for external automotive engineering providers could shrink.

This is not merely a cyclical risk.

It could become a structural TAM risk.

6. AI creates another question🤔

AI can make software engineers significantly more productive.

That sounds positive for KPIT.

But there is a paradox.

If customers eventually need fewer engineering hours for the same output, fixed-price projects could experience revenue deflation.

Productivity gains are excellent for margins—but potentially problematic for revenue per project.

Investors therefore need to watch whether AI becomes primarily:

a margin enhancer or a pricing disruptor.

[End Reservation - Arakshan Mukt Bharat @OfficeAbhishekT]

Repost pls🙏🙏🙏
Shocking visuals from Jantar Mantar. 💔

Delhi Police are detaining protesters, including Karni Sena members, from the Reservation Hatao Andolan.

During the CJP protest, people were allowed to protest for 37 days. Today, our people are being detained on the very first day. This difference in treatment raises serious questions.

But one thing is clear — we will not lose hope and we will not take the wrong path.

We will fight legally, peacefully and within the framework of the Constitution. Whatever our next step is, it will be through law and democratic means.

Our voice will continue. Our movement will continue. Reservation Reform will continue. 🇮🇳

Suppose a FII invested 5 USD when rupee was 70.
Now indian market has been doing very badly for last 24 months but let us assume his stock appreciated by 10%.
So,his total capital is now INR 350+35=385.

He had to give STT and bla bla Nirmala aunty tax too.

If he wants to withdraw the money today, he will take back USD 3.85 ONLY!

Add STCG,LTCG etc different Nirmala tai tax to it.

WHY FII WILL INVEST IN INDIA THEN???????

THE CLUELESS IAS BABUS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DISMAL PERFORMANCE OF INDIAN STOCK MARKET FOR PAST 2 YEARS OR SO.

REPLACE THEM.

THERE ARE MANY POCKETS OF GROWTH IN OUR BELOVED COUNTRY,ONLY THESE BABUS ARE KILLING OUR STOCK MARKET AND RETAIL INVESTORS.
