In the UK, Mastek was engaged to support the Digital Prevention Portfolio for the national healthcare system and secured a three-year contract for a national biometrics platform.

Equity Analyst Commentary

Institutional research reports attributed the sequential revenue decline to seasonal factors, including higher employee furloughs and the right-shifting of specific client engagements. Analysts noted that margin expansion and the growth in the 12-month order backlog served as indicators of operational discipline despite the quarterly revenue contraction.

Guidance & Outlook

Management indicated that while the third quarter faced execution-related headwinds and seasonal softness, the pipeline remains active across the UK, US, and AMEA regions. Areas of focus for the coming periods include demand for AI-led solutions and digital engineering services in the healthcare and government sectors.

Mastek shares declined during today’s session as the market reacted to a 3.7% sequential drop in revenue. However, the company reported a 14.4% year-over-year increase in net profit and 24.3% growth in its 12-month order backlog. Revenue growth in the UK & Europe segment was offset by declines in North America and AMEA operations.
