Guidance says 10-12%. Q1 delivered 7%. We locked the seven.

91% probability Larsen & Toubro's FY2027 revenue growth reaches at least 7%. Guidance of 10-12% was maintained, but Q1 grew 7% — so the guide requires acceleration through the year. The threshold sits at what has actually been delivered.

group revenue growth · vs 10-12% guided, 7% delivered in Q1

Larsen & Toubro reported Q1 FY2027 group revenue of ₹679bn, up 7% year on year, with profit after tax up 14% to ₹41bn. Order inflows rose 14% to ₹1.08 trillion, supported by ultra-mega offshore wind orders from Europe and sustained domestic private-sector demand. The total order book reached ₹7.79 trillion, giving about three years of revenue visibility, with international orders at 52% of the book. The company maintained full-year guidance of 10-12% order inflow growth, supported by a ₹15 trillion prospects pipeline, and 10-12% revenue growth.

— 1 · The Locked Call

L&T's FY2027 revenue growth is at least 7% — P = 0.91.

We lock a binary: Larsen & Toubro's reported group revenue growth for fiscal 2027 is 7% or higher. Confidence 91%.

Guidance is 10-12%. Our threshold sits three points below the floor of that range, and exactly at the rate Q1 actually delivered.

— 2 · When guidance requires acceleration, anchor on what has happened

The full year needs 10-12%. The first quarter produced 7%.

L&T maintained full-year revenue growth guidance of 10-12% while reporting first-quarter growth of 7%. Arithmetically that requires the remaining three quarters to run meaningfully faster than the first — the guide is a statement about acceleration, not continuation.

That may well happen. This is a project business where revenue is recognised on percentage of completion, so a large order converting into execution can lift the run rate substantially, and the order book supports it: ₹7.79 trillion, about three years of visibility, with inflows up 14% in the quarter including ultra-mega offshore wind awards from Europe. International orders are now 52% of the book, which is a genuine change in this company's character.

But a threshold set inside the guided range would be a bet on the acceleration arriving. Setting it at 7% — the delivered rate — makes this a bet that L&T does not decelerate from where it already is, which is a materially different and more defensible claim. That distinction is the point of the lock.

The residual 9% is execution and margin-driven revenue timing. Q1 profit grew 14% on 7% revenue, so the mix is working; but percentage-of-completion accounting means a slipped project milestone moves revenue between quarters without anything being wrong.

Binary: YES if reported FY2027 GROUP revenue growth is 7.0% or greater versus FY2026; NO if below. L&T's financial year ends 31 MARCH 2027. Group consolidated revenue growth — NOT order inflow growth (guided separately at 10-12% and a different measure entirely), NOT order book growth, NOT profit after tax growth, NOT standalone revenue, and NOT a single segment such as Infrastructure or Energy.

Guidance of 10-12% against Q1 delivery of 7% is a statement about acceleration. The threshold tests continuation instead, which is the more defensible claim.
