Infosys

Broking firm Prabhudas Lilladher has recommended buying Infosys with a target price of Rs 3,175 in its March 14, 2013 research report.

"Infosys' management reiterated its commentary for Q4FY13. Infosys will have a negative impact of ~30-50bps due to the cross-currency movement. For the quarter, the company is seeing good growth in Hi-Tech and Retail, whereas Telecom continues to be challenged. Barring Insurance, BFSI is likely to be muted. However, the commentary indicated confidence in achieving guidance of 4.1% for Q4FY14.
The deal pipeline has improved (increased RFP pipeline). The deals are largely IMS-led, but Infosys is still reluctant to do more of asset-heavy deals. The company has partnered to bid for IMS contracts with lesser strain on the balance sheet. In BFSI, deals are largely led by IMS, where clients are looking to improve their balance sheets. However, the structure of deal remains complicated for IMS. The management was confident of winning mid-to-high single-digit large deals in a quarter," Prabhudas Lilladhar has stated.
