DXC Technology has launched an AI hub in Bengaluru to accelerate its service delivery platform, OASIS. The initiative aims to reverse a 4.8% annual revenue decline and a 36% stock price drop over the past year. Investors are now watching if this pivot to AI and engineering services can successfully offset the shrinking demand for its legacy infrastructure business.
DXC Technology is intensifying its focus on artificial intelligence as a primary strategy to stabilize its business and improve financial performance. The company recently opened an AI hub in Bengaluru, a move that leverages its largest global employee base of over 38,000 in India. This center is intended to serve as a hub for co-innovation, integrating consulting and engineering to help global clients adopt AI solutions.
Strategic Pivot to OASIS and AI
The company’s latest move centers on its AI-enhanced service delivery platform, OASIS, which is already operational for nearly 50 clients. Management plans to integrate this platform into future bids to improve win rates against competitors. Additionally, the company has launched LabX, an internal incubator for AI solutions, and established a dedicated DXC Engineering business unit to capture rising demand for specialized engineering services. By incorporating Anthropic’s Claude across its global workforce of 120,000 employees, the company aims to modernize its service model.
Financial Context and Market Performance
This strategic shift follows a challenging period for the company. DXC Technology reported annual revenue of $12.6 billion for fiscal year 2026, marking an organic decline of 4.8% compared to the previous year. The stock has faced significant pressure, declining 36.66% on the New York Stock Exchange over the last twelve months. Historically reliant on legacy infrastructure services, the company has struggled as demand for these traditional offerings has faded.
Management Focus on Cash and Debt
Under CEO Raul Fernandez and CFO Rob Del Bene, the company is prioritizing balance sheet health. Over the past three years, DXC has generated $2.2 billion in free cash flow and reduced its net debt by $1.1 billion. While these efforts have strengthened the company's financial position, the core challenge remains the ongoing revenue contraction. Investors will continue to monitor whether the push into AI-led engineering services can effectively replace the revenue lost from the declining legacy segments. The key monitorable for the coming quarters will be the adoption rate of the OASIS platform and whether this investment leads to sustainable margin expansion and revenue growth.
