Today’s top research idea

Infosys — In-line; Deals and Digital strong; watching out for BFS and Attrition

  • INFO’s 1QFY19 revenue growth of 6% YoY CC and 2.3% QoQ CC was in line with our estimate, and was EBIT margin of 23.7% (-100bp QoQ). Its CC revenue growth guidance of 6-8% and EBIT margin band of 22-24% remain unchanged.
  • This comes despite ~20-25bp positive contribution from Wongdoody acquisition and 100bp tailwind to margins from currency.
  • However, on the margins front, we expect the company to come slightly ahead of the band at prevailing currency since: [1] It is sticking to its investment budget for the year, and [2] 1Q is seasonally the weakest for margins (seen in last 5 years margins’ too) and INFO is already close to the higher end of the band.
