Motilal Oswal | Rating: Neutral | Target: Rs 1220
We expect the company to deliver double-digit growth in FY22. However, the extent is likely to be lower than its peers. We value the stock at 17x FY23E EPS.
Sharekhan | Rating: Neutral | Target: Rs 1,300
We have raised upward our earnings estimates for FY2022E/ FY2023E/FY2024E due to a strong all-round beat in Q1FY2022, healthy deal wins, and a strong deal pipeline in the communication vertical.
The company is well invested in capturing opportunities from the expansion of 5G value chain across networks and IT services from both telecom service providers and enterprises. The company’s investments and multiple small acquisitions for enhancing capabilities in newer areas have resulted in consistent deal flows in the enterprise segment.
We assume Tech Mahindra will continue to generate higher free cash flow (FCF) in the coming years, which would increase dividend/buyback payouts.
