“We expect the material decline in our design-led manufacturing revenue during the Q4 FY19. Large order delivery of around $5 million has been delayed due to delay in regulatory clearances at customer end with one of our customers,” Cyient said in a regulatory filing.

Cyient has expected 8.5 per cent to 9.5 per cent growth in the services business in constant currency for FY19. Earlier, the company had expected 10 per cent plus growth in the services business.

“The company has cautioned about a weak Q4FY19, impacted by client specific issues in both services and DLM business. Thus it will miss its FY19 revenue guidance. The services business has seen deals for some of its key clients in Aerospace & Defense and Communications verticals (58 per cent of services revenue) are deferred to FY20. While DLM business was impacted by a delay in regulatory clearances for one of its client,” analysts at IDBI Capital said in event update.
The brokerage firm believes re-rating in the stock will have to wait for pick-up in revenue growth especially in the services business.
