DEV IT’s Q1 FY26 Update: Growth Momentum, Strategic Wins, and Investor Outlook

Dev Information Technology Ltd. (DEV IT) has recently shared a mix of financial updates for Q1 FY26 and a new government order win from Gujarat Informatics Limited (GIL), showcasing its dual strengths in execution and client trust【54†de2afa8f-4762-447f-8b78-4fc0b57601e4.pdf】【46†61dd4c0e-1b35-4133-8be2-535ede7d5853.pdf】.

Q1 FY26 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue: ₹434.6 Mn (up from ₹357.3 Mn in Q1 FY25)

  • Net Profit: ₹21.8 Mn (down from ₹37.2 Mn YoY)

  • EBITDA: ₹40.3 Mn, with margin declining to 9.3% from 17.0% YoY

  • EPS: ₹0.93, lower compared to ₹1.55 YoY

Key reason for margin pressure: Higher raw material expenses and continued investments in AI, cybersecurity, and digital public infrastructure projects.

Despite softer margins, DEV IT’s three-year CAGR shows revenue growth of 17% and PAT growth of 28%, reflecting long-term strength.

Strategic Project Wins

These projects, though varied in size, strengthen DEV IT’s credibility as a go-to partner for large government e-governance platforms.

Management Commentary

Founder & Chairman, Mr. Pranav Pandya, highlighted that Q1 FY26 was a period of stable operations with investments in emerging areas like AI and cybersecurity, coupled with new e-governance wins that will fuel future growth. The focus remains on scaling international presence, AI-driven automation, and acquisitions to strengthen service offerings.

Investor Perspective

Positives:

  • Prestigious government contracts enhance brand visibility.

  • Diversified revenue streams (IT services, cloud, enterprise apps, DEVX coworking, products like ByteSIGNER & Talligence).

  • Strong client base across government & private sectors (600+ clients, 1,800+ projects).

  • Recognition of subsidiary Dhyey Consulting by Microsoft adds credibility in enterprise applications.

  • Healthy balance sheet with low debt-to-equity (0.27x in FY25).

Risks:

Conclusion

The combination of strategic project wins, expanding global footprint, and investments in future-ready tech positions DEV IT as a promising small-cap IT growth story. The recent GIL order, though financially modest, carries significant reputational and strategic value. Meanwhile, Q1 FY26 results reflect near-term margin pressure but also highlight the company’s willingness to invest in long-term capability building.

Investor takeaway: DEV IT offers long-term growth potential in digital transformation and e-governance, best suited for investors seeking small-cap exposure with high growth but moderate risk appetite.
