Investment Rationale

Motilal Oswal said, while L&T Technology Services has delivered largely flat growth over FY19-21 (1 per cent revenue CAGR) due to Covid-19 and ramp down at key clients (partly due to external issues), Motilal Oswal expects a strong growth rebound (17 per cent CAGR over FY21-23E).

After a sharp 200 bps dip in margin in FY21, due to the Covid-led impact, the company should be more than able to recover margin over the next two years on favorable operating leverage, leading to 29 per cent earnings CAGR over FY21-23E.

Motilal Oswal’s target price of Rs 3,130 per share implies 30x FY23E EPS. It anticipates improved industry spends compared to the previous five years.
