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
- Operating margins have improved to -53.4% from -119.9%
- Strong cash generation - operating cash flow backs reported profits (CFO/PAT 5.74x)
- Company generates healthy free cash flow
CONS
- Company is loss-making at the operating / net level
- Operating cash flow has been negative in recent years
- Company has a low return on capital employed of -4.8%
- Company has a low return on equity of -5.8% over last 3 years
- Interest coverage is weak at -0.7x - earnings barely cover interest
- Company's sales have been declining over the last five years
