Elara Capital on Infosys

Rating: ACCUMULATE
 
Target Price : Rs 790
 
Upside : 9%
 
CMP : Rs 727 (as on 12 July 2019)

After 1QFY19, we had been 170bp below Consensus on FY20E EBITDA margin as we had expected a YoY decline of 150bp to 22.5% with USD-INR assumption of 68.3. We had been optimistic about growth though, but now feel less confident that Infosys can continue double-digit growth organically. We lower revenue by 3.1% for FY20E and 2.9% for FY21E. We also lower EBITDA margin by 18bp for FY20E and 46bp for FY21E. We introduce FY22E and arrive at a new TP of INR 790 from INR 820 on 18x (unchanged) FY21E P/E. We reiterate Accumulate, but urge investors to switch to HCL Tech and Wipro as we see similar growth prospects and more reasonable valuation.​
