Our view:

Overall, the performance was strong in the direct business. However, The DXC segment continues to decline after the end of the contract period with DXC Technology and we expect its near‐term performance to be stable.

The strong deal booking in the Direct segment will help growth going ahead. We believe that Direct Core business is well placed to deliver industry leading growth in FY22, driven by solid capabilities in digital technologies. Trades at 21.8x on FY23 earnings. Initiate coverage with ADD rating on the stock
