Q2 profit of €84.7 million puts focus on earnings quality

• Net income from continuing operations was €84.7 million in Q2 2026 on revenue of €493.2 million, compared with €60.6 million on €448.3 million in Q1 2026, while trailing twelve month net income reached €220.3 million on €1.9b of revenue.
• Bulls argue that Tieto Oyj’s push into digital consulting, AI services and software can support higher quality, recurring profits. However, the latest data also show five year earnings declining at 32.3% per year and forecasts pointing to earnings falling about 7% a year in the next three years, which means:
  • The return to trailing twelve month EPS of €1.87 and recent quarterly profits heavily support the bullish claim that cost programs and a higher value mix are having an effect.
  • At the same time, the long term earnings decline rate and projected drops ahead challenge the idea that the current €84.7 million quarterly profit level is already on a firmly upward path.

Trailing EPS recovery meets cautious revenue outlook

• Trailing twelve month EPS stands at €1.87 on €1.9b of revenue, yet revenue is expected to decline by about 0.6% per year and earnings by roughly 7% per year over the next three years according to the provided forecasts.
• Bears highlight that nearly flat long term revenue and the forecast declines in both revenue and earnings point to structural growth challenges for Tieto Oyj, and the recent figures give them some backing:
  • The last five reported quarters show revenue moving in a relatively tight band between €448.3 million and €493.2 million, which is consistent with concerns about limited top line momentum.
  • The swing from a loss of €0.52 per share in Q2 2025 to a profit of €0.73 per share in Q2 2026 helps strengthen the balance sheet picture today, but it also makes it harder to argue that a single profitable year has already overturned the bearish view on long term growth.

DCF fair value and 9.3x P/E contrast with forecasts

• At a share price of €17.72, Tieto Oyj trades on a trailing P/E of 9.3x, below peers at 23.5x and the European IT industry at 17.7x, and also below the indicated DCF fair value of about €27.48, implying a sizable gap between price and that valuation model.
• The consensus style narrative that sees earnings forecasts declining but margins improving sits uneasily with this apparent discount, because:
  • The combination of trailing net income of €220.3 million and a 9.3x P/E suggests the market is pricing in some of the forecast earnings declines, even while trailing numbers show the company back in profit.
  • The fact that both the analyst price target of €19.44 and the DCF fair value of €27.48 are above the current €17.72 price means readers need to decide whether the forecast decline in earnings justifies the market’s caution or whether the gap reflects an opportunity if profitability holds up.
