ANALYST KRChoksey Research Phone: +91-22-6696 5555, Fax: +91-22-6691 9576 Harit Shah, [email protected], +91-22-6696 5555 is also available on Bloomberg KRCS<GO> www.krchoksey.com Thomson Reuters, Factset and Capital IQ Mid Cap IT – Scope for alpha, but at the right price (2/3) Initiate Coverage on Mindtree, Sonata with ACCUMULATE ratings; good long term business outlook • Positive outlook on mid caps covered in this report; company-specific factors drive our underlying confidence • We initiate coverage on 2 companies in this report – Mindtree and Sonata Software. We expect Mindtree to see improved growth from 2QFY21 with resumption in global economic activity, continuing digital investments by client organisations, healthy growth in non-Travel verticals, top client Microsoft and large deal wins like Realogy acting as bulwarks, and margin expansion over FY21- FY23 led by revenue growth and cost management. Recent strategy refresh with focused service offerings to end-decision makers of technology with higher digital focus, and cutting long tail of clients should boost growth as well in the long-term. Key risk is client concentration (>30% revenue accounted for by top client Microsoft in 1QFY21, which will get addressed over the next 2-3 quarters). Valuation is slightly pricey at 22.0x/19.2 FY22E/FY23E EPS, respectively. We are positive on long term business prospects of the IT firm, and recommend an ACCUMULATE rating with a target price of INR 1,420. We recommend buying into any stock price correction. • We believe the worst is now behind Sonata Software, with 1QFY21 being a trough quarter owing to the severe decline in Travel revenue led by TUI. Other key verticals including ISV, Retail (Essential and Non Essential), Distribution & Manufacturing, and Commodities & Services should see growth return. Sonata enjoys healthy operating metrics, with impressive IITS EBITDA margin of >22% (better than most mid-sized IT firms), gross debt-equity ratio at a very conservative 0.1x (net cash positive), interest coverage ratio of >22x in FY20, no equity dilution since April 2001, operating cash flow well in excess of 100% of EBITDA and RoE consistently above 30% since FY15. In context of improving growth, differentiated business model with platform focus, marquee acquisitions boosting cash usage and expanding addressable market, and healthy operating metrics, we Initiate Coverage on Sonata Software with an ACCUMULATE rating and target price of INR 375. The stock currently trades at 11.9x/10.7x FY22E/FY23E EPS, respectively, which is fairly reasonable. ANALYST KRChoksey Research Phone: +91-22-6696 5555, Fax: +91-22-6691 9576 Harit Shah, [email protected], +91-22-6696 5555 is also available on Bloomberg KRCS<GO> www.krchoksey.com Thomson Reuters, Factset and Capital IQ Mid Cap IT – Scope for alpha, but at the right price (3/3) Remain positive on long term businesses of Persistent and Tata Elxsi, prefer lower prices to add further • We are enthused by the pivot made by Persistent under the earlier CEO towards managed services, annuity revenue, technology services business and large deals, driven by a realignment of service lines and verticals to effectively map client IT spend to its own portfolio of offerings. This has seen results in terms of improved revenue and margin performance over the past few quarters, no more so than in 1QFY21, a quarter when most peers reported mid single digit to double digit revenue declines. Deal wins have also been healthy, with Persistent winning a US$ 50mn deal with a leading enterprise software firm in the data virtualisation space, with growth visibility aided further by good traction in its digital banking products in the BFSI vertical, and initiatives in the Healthcare vertical. While near-term margin pressure could be seen owing to transition costs in large deals, this can be recouped with revenue growth. We expect 11.3% USD revenue CAGR over FY21-FY23E after a 9.6% growth in FY20, and , and 12.8% EPS CAGR over the period after 18.6% growth in FY20. We maintain ACCUMULATE on Persistent with an upwardly revised target price of INR 1,340, implying a target PE of 20x FY23E EPS. Persistent’s stock trades at 20.0x/18.3x FY22E/FY23E EPS, respectively at current levels. • Tata Elxsi’s stock currently trades at a P/E multiple of 23.0x/20.2x FY22E/FY23E EPS, respectively. Improving vertical mix diversification, near-term margin expansion, relevant service portfolio in fast-growing areas of IT spend such as embedded software, automotive electronics, AR/VR, OTT media and medical devices, and healthy double digit EPS growth (14% CAGR over FY21- FY23E) underpin our positive stance on the specialised IT firm. We value the stock at 22x FY23E EPS and arrive at a revised target price of INR 1,308 (INR 1,064 earlier) as we factor in FY23E earnings. We retain our ACCUMULATE rating on the stock and believe the recent 8% correction is a good opportunity for investors to add to their portfolio.

  • India Meets Britain Tracker 2020 17 © 2021 Grant Thornton UK LLP
    India meets Britain Tracker The latest trends in Indian investment in the UK 2021 About our research Our Tracker, developed in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry, identifies the top fastest-growing Indian companies in the UK as measured by percentage revenue growth year-on-year. The Tracker includes Indian-owned corporates with operations headquartered or with a significant base in the UK, with turnover of more than £5 million, year-on-year revenue growth of at least 10% and a minimum two-year track record in the UK, based on the latest published accounts filed as at 31 March 2021, where available. Turnover figures have been annualised where periods of less or more than 12 months have been reported1. In the UK, to reflect the pandemic challenges, companies were granted a three-month extension to the usual filing period. Indian companies that took advantage of this option may therefore not appear in this year’s research. Our report also highlights the top Indian employers – those companies that employ more than 1,000 people in the UK2. To compile the India meets Britain Tracker 2021, Grant Thornton analysed data from 850 UK- incorporated limited companies that are owned directly or indirectly, or controlled, by either an Indian-incorporated parent or an Indian citizen resident outside the UK3. 1 As our research relies on published and filed accounts, there is inevitably a time lag between the recording of the performance of the companies and the publication of this report. 2 Employment numbers may include employees
