Thematic (Sector/Industry)

<p>The Indian IT Service companies all expect double-digit top-line growth for FY2022 (to end March 2022), which is a significant acceleration from what they have delivered over the past 5+ years, but very achievable due to the low base set during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in FY2021. </p>
<p>With all these companies currently trading at historically peak valuation levels, the key controversy on these stocks is whether this is still the early stages of a 3-5yr heightened growth period and whether this has already been priced in. </p>
<p>With the Indian IT Services sector set to record exceptional growth acceleration, at least for the early part of the coming financial year, in this insight, I analyse whether a multi-year hyper-growth scenario is already priced in, by looking at earnings forecasts, relative valuation levels, and implied future growth rates.</p>
