Profitability and Efficiency Metrics

The company’s return on equity (ROE) stood at 24.1%, while the return on capital employed (ROCE) was reported at 30.4%, both of which are above typical industry benchmarks. The interest coverage ratio (ICR) of 32.72x highlights the company’s strong ability to meet interest obligations, indicating low financial risk. Operating profit for the most recent quarter (September 2023) was ₹405 Cr, with an OPM of 17%, slightly below the previous fiscal year’s performance but still within an acceptable range. The net profit margin also reflected strength, standing at approximately 11.72% for FY 2025, showcasing the company’s operational efficiency and effective cost management strategies.
Balance Sheet Strength and Financial Ratios

The company reported reserves of ₹6,241 Cr, demonstrating its ability to retain earnings and reinvest in growth.

The current ratio of 2.36x indicates strong liquidity, allowing the firm to cover short-term obligations comfortably.

Shareholding Pattern and Investor Confidence
The shareholding pattern of Persistent Systems reveals a diversified ownership structure, with promoters holding 30.56% of the company. Institutional investors, including Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) at 21.24% and Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) at 30.60%, collectively represent a significant portion of the equity, indicating strong institutional support. The public shareholding stood at 17.14%, with an increasing number of shareholders reported at 2,54,897 as of September 2025. This growing shareholder base reflects rising investor confidence in the company’s performance and strategic direction. The slight decrease in promoter holding from 31.26% in December 2022 to the current level may suggest a dilution of control, yet it has not adversely affected the stock’s performance. The stable institutional support and increasing retail participation are positive signals for the company’s future growth trajectory.
Outlook, Risks, and Final Insight
Looking ahead, Persistent Systems is well-positioned for continued growth, driven by its strong financial performance and strategic initiatives in the IT sector. However, the company faces risks including potential volatility in global markets, which could impact demand for its services. Additionally, competition in the IT consulting space is intensifying, which may pressure margins. While the company’s operating profits are currently robust, fluctuations in demand and pricing pressures could pose challenges. On the upside, if Persistent Systems successfully leverages emerging technologies and expands its service offerings, it could enhance market share and profitability. Overall, the firm’s financial health, combined with a strategic focus on high-growth areas, positions it favorably in the industry landscape, although vigilance towards market dynamics remains essential.
