AI Sector View
AI GENERATEDInformation Technology
IT is supported by a still-expanding services backdrop and a weaker rupee. Export of services grew 13.0% YoY (2026-06), services PMI was 54.1 (Aug/26), and the currency at 95.23 (Sep/26) is depreciated versus the previous 95.16, which helps INR translation of export revenues. FPI positioning is only neutral-to-soft with net 3-month flow of INR -5 crore to 2026-08-31, so the positive stance is primarily macro-driven.
PROS
- Company is almost debt free
- Company has a healthy return on capital (ROCE) of 39.0%
- Company has a good return on equity (ROE) track record: 3 Years ROE 29.4%
- Latest quarter profit grew 143.2% YoY, showing strong momentum
- Strong cash generation - operating cash flow backs reported profits (CFO/PAT 1.37x)

- Company has delivered a poor profit growth of -2.7% over past five years
- Stock is trading at 14.4x its book value
- Operating margins have contracted to 31.0% from 37.3%
