Technology: Falling short of the hoped-for traction; Anticipated BFSI-led acceleration may have to wait
1QFY18 is crucial, given the importance it holds in determining the potential acceleration in FY18 growth. Strength was expected on the backdrop of positive BFSI undertones at the beginning of the fiscal. One quarter down, our conversations with multiple companies indicate that this has not played out as hoped.
Moreover, the INR appreciated ~3% v/s the USD in 1QFY18. Despite TCS being the only company this quarter among the top tier with wage hike implementation, we notice YoY margins under pressure across the board.
Valuations drive our preference for INFO, TECHM and HCLT among the top tier, while we do not expect any meaningful triggers for TECHM in 1Q. Among tier-II, we prefer PSYS (onset of margin improvement), CYL (play on engineering services), LTI (strong momentum), and ZENT (full-scale transformation)..
