内容简介：
“Pent up” demand in play? — With most US and global macro data points
suggesting stability or recovery, India’s IT services sector is seeing increased deal
discussions and the start of ramp-ups. If the economic climate remains stable
over the next few months, IT budgets could be strong in CY10E. Note that IT
spends increased by an ~8% CAGR over the 3 years post the previous downturn.
US recovery, liquidity raising valuations and making them converge; be selective
— Tier-one IT players are trading at ~10-25% premiums to the market, despite
our earnings increase of ~3-18%. Valuations within the sector are converging as
visibility into demand uptick improves, a trend that we think will continue.
Absolute valuations remain liquidity-driven. We recommend staying selective.
Upgrade Wipro to Buy; downgrade Infosys to Hold — We now prefer Wipro to
Infosys. Wipro will have a higher EPS CAGR over the next couple of years, on our
estimates, and trades at a ~15% discount to Infosys. Wipro is also strong in India/
Asia, and we believe there is upside to FY11 consensus estimates. TCS and Wipro
are the only Buys in the sector (target multiples imply ~10% discount to Infosys).
TechM, Patni, Mindtree: Hard to see more valuation convergence — TechM faces
challenges in its core business. Patni’s margin increase has positively surprised
but its sharp moves leave little on the table, in our view. Expect better 2Q from
Mindtree, but valuations leave little room for upside. Risk ratings revised.
Macro risks exist — Positive risks: demand recovering faster than expected;
concern on domestic sectors due to monsoon and fiscal deficit (relative market
play). Negative risks: negative US data (“W” shaped recovery); and strong INR.
