Investment Rationale
The brokerage maintains REDUCE rating on TELX, based on diminishing margin of safety at 56x FY23E and following an in-line revenue performance. The margin came in better than expected, led by higher-than-expected offshoring (~75%), but the brokerage believes it has reached the peak level, considering supply-side concerns. While the brokerage remains positive on the company’s prospects and growth leadership in ER&D (+26/29% revenue/EPS CAGR over FY21-24E), the unfavourable risk-reward can be construed from (1) lower revenue growth in the IDV segment impacted by project completion and delay in decision making, (2) reducing growth premium vs. ER&D peers, and (3) diminishing margin due to supply-side challenges and increased hiring of freshers to manage attrition (13.9%). The near-term prospects remain strong with FY22E revenue growth expected at 32%, which would subsequently normalise to ~25% in FY23E. Its TP of INR 5,275 is based on 44x Dec-23E EPS, supported by an EPS CAGR of 29% over FY21-24E.
