Inside information: Tieto updates its full-year 2026 organic revenue growth outlook and profitability outlook – and provides preliminary third-quarter financial information
Tieto Corporation INSIDE INFORMATION 26 October 2026 7:15 p.m. EET
Tieto lowers its full-year 2026 organic growth outlook primarily due to continued soft demand and the ongoing transformation in Tieto Tech Consulting. The transformation is progressing, with its contribution to growth expected to build gradually from 2027. Furthermore, growth has been negatively impacted by a decline in the volume-based businesses in Tieto Banktech and Tieto Indtech. As a result, Tieto currently expects its organic growth for 2026 to be between -6% and -5% (previously -5% to -3%).
The company has continued to deliver strong profitability supported by successful execution of the cost optimization programme and continued cost discipline. Tieto upgrades its profitability outlook for the full year and estimates its full-year adjusted operating margin (adjusted EBITA) to be 15.5–16.0% (previously 14.8–15.8%) for 2026.
