HCL Tech (Hold)

CMP: ₹1424.20

Target: ₹1587

HCL Technologies’ reported revenues were up 3 per cent q-o-q to $1.36 billion. The EBIT margin improved q-o-q by 100 bps to 24.7 per cent helped by revenue growth and higher rationalisations. HCL Tech’s performance during the quarter was commendable and came at the time of uncertain environment in some business segments. Company continues to witness broad-based growth across verticals and geographic. However, we will be watchful of pick up in software services growth. At CMP, the stock is available at 14.4x its FY15 EPS which is an attractive one is our view. Recommend ‘Hold’ rating on the stock.
