Management continues to remain confident of sustaining margins in a range of 15.25-17 per cent.
We believe company will continue to perform well over next few quarters due to strong deal win momentum. Also the confident commentary from management, declining revenue share of DXC and increase in average LTM size are other positive triggers for the stock.
We initiate a Buy rating on the stock and value the stock at 21.9x FY24 earnings to arrive at the target of ₹2323.
