Infosys: Encouraging deal wins and guidance upgrade are key positives!

  • Independent investigation in whistleblower case is complete and Audit Committee has given a clean to the management. In 3Q, revenue grew 9.5% YoY (CC) to USD 3.2b, in line with our estimate.
  • EBIT increased 3% YoY to ~INR52b, a marginal miss. PAT was up 23% YoY to ~INR45b, a marginal beat aided by a one-off (interest income on tax refund). Key verticals BFSI (1.6% YoY, CC, Organic) and Retail (2.5% YoY, CC) remained soft. Barring these, growth in most verticals was strong. Strength in large deal wins (58% YoY, rolling four-quarter average) and the growth guidance upgrade (from 9-10% to 10-10.5% YoY CC) have surprised us. Meaningful moderation in attrition (~200bp QoQ) is a reason to cheer.
  • We upgrade our EPS estimate for FY20-22 by 2%-3%, given the robust large deal wins and the decent outlook. Reiterating Buy.
