IDBI Capital Report

Q4 FY24 results were weak due to slowdown in discretionary spend, elongation of deal cycle and weak macro. Most of the companies are banking on growth in H2 FY25E thereby pushing growth expectation to FY26E. Consequently we have cut our revenue and EPS estimates by 4% and 3% for FY25E in large cap and by 3% & 7% for FY25E in midcaps.

Challenges still persist in terms of slow decision making, focus on cost efficiency program and reprioritisation of spends. This has led to cooling of stock prices. However, we still remain cautious in the IT sector.

We prefer companies where there is valuation comfort and has healthy growth expectation. Hence we prefer Wipro Ltd. and Infosys Ltd. in large caps and Newgen Software Technologies Ltd., Sonata Software Ltd. and Cyient Ltd. in mid-caps.

Key upside risk in the sector is earlier than expected FED interest rate cut which could boost client budgets (although seems difficult).
