Our view
The revenue growth was slight above expectation due to robust organic growth as well as contribution from Capco acquisition. However, the margins have come under pressure due to wage hike and higher attrition. While some of margin pressure would be managed through improved employee pyramid and other productivity measures, but the risks to margin remain. Organic revenue growth for FY22 would be in double digit led by robust deal wins. The valuation remains stretched as its trades at 22x on FY23 earnings. Consequently, we maintain ADD on the stock with revised target price of Rs 625.
Result Highlights

Growth was broadbased as BFSI grew 23% QoQ, Consumer grew 14% QoQ and Energy and utilities grew 11.8% QoQ; there was some softness in manufacturing vertical.
* Excluding other operating income, Consolidated EBIT margin was down 330 bps QoQ, as per estimates , due to wage hike , more hiring and adverse margin impact of Capco acquisition.
