Its revenue from operations advanced 11.37% YoY to ₹880.75 crore in the June quarter of FY27, as against ₹790.86 crore in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.

Its standalone billings grew by 14.4% YoY for the quarter, reaching ₹737 crore, led by the Recruitment and 99acres businesses, with billings for Recruitment growing by 17.5% and for 99acres surging 16.5%.

Here is what analysts said

Analysts at Macquarie said that Info Edge’s recruitment segment’s revenue growth trailed billings, while the company continued to see the risk from artificial intelligence (AI) slowing down the velocity of jobs.

The analysts added that this will lead to a softer medium-term billings or revenue growth outlook and see a potential downside risk to the consensus mid-teen revenue growth forecast.

In a note, analysts at Citi stated that Info Edge has several accelerants in recruitment billings. In the near-term, global capability centres (GCCs), better pricing power and improved jobseeker monetisation are supportive.

Furthermore, in the medium-term, premiumisation in the white-collar jobs market should drive average revenue per user (ARPU)-led growth. Lastly, in the long-term, traction in the value segment, such as JobHai, and India or global job macro will be key.

The company’s management indicated that growth could potentially reach 15% from the earlier guidance of 12-13% for FY27.

Analysts at Bank of America noted that Info Edge clocked a steady quarter, with sustainable hiring trends. The company saw a 5% EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) beat, compared to street expectations, with business momentum improving. The firm’s premium segment and newer AI initiatives aided Naukri, the analyst added.
