Investment arguments
Robust outlook: The Management indicated that the deal pipeline across other
service lines also remains healthy and the same has been partly demonstrated in
the company’s last one year performance. Verticals such as financial services,
public services, life sciences & healthcare along with retail & CPG have proved to
be the company’s growth drivers. Geography wise, continental Europe has proved
to be a strong spender vis-à-vis its peers. We expect HCL Tech to post a USD and
INR revenue CAGR of 13.0% and 13.2%, respectively, over FY2015-17E and
remain watchful of the company’s performance in the core software services
business.
Healthy pipeline: In terms of order flow in FY2015, HCL Tech has signed 58
transformational engagements during FY2014-15 with US$5bn+ of TCV. These
bookings saw significant momentum driven by Next-gen ITO, Engineering Services
Outsourcing, Digital, and Modern Apps deals, each of which had a component of
new technology constructs like Digitalization, Cloud etc. These engagements
reflected a broad-based spread across verticals, service lines and geographies. We
believe that sustaining the run-rate of large deal wins is a healthy sign and should
translate into better revenue visibility for the company in FY2016.
Continuing its momentum of deal wins, HCL Tech booked business in excess of
USD 1 bn in TCV in 2QFY2016, including 8 transformational deals. The broad-
based business wins, across service lines and industry verticals were driven by the
company’s next-generation offerings. Thus, on back of strong order book, the
company expects 2HFY2016 to be better than 1HFY2016.
Outlook and valuation
On the operating front, HCL Tech’s EBIT margin has been around 22.3% in
FY2015, a dip of 185bp over the previous financial year. Going ahead, the
Management expects EBIT margins to sustain at 21-22%, driven by moving work
offshore and efficiency-led gains. We expect the EBIT and PAT to post a 7.7% and
6.0% CAGR, respectively, over FY2015-17E. At the current market price, the stock
is trading at 16.4x FY2016E and 14.6x FY2017E EPS. We recommend a Buy on
the stock with a price target of `1,038.
