Valuations & view
Another strong quarter from Mphasis with continued outperformance in growth and margins. Moreover, the FY19 outlook is strong for both growth and margins. We expect the USD revenue growth to be better than industry (11% CAGR FY19-20E). Revenue beat and raise in our EBIT margin assumption by 100bps for FY19E-FY20E leads us to upgrade our EPS for FY19E/FY20E by 5%/9%. We have liked the micro growth story of Blackstone portfolio and HP/DXC; and strong FY19 commentary and margin delivery gives us more confidence on business execution. This leads us to upgrade our rating from Neutral to Outperformer. We revise target price to Rs1060 (18x FY20E EPS-inline with MTCL) from Rs790.
