KPIT: Raises Its Full-Year FY24 Guidance
- KPIT raised its full-year FY24 revenue growth guidance to 37%+ from 27-30% earlier, led by a strong Q2FY24 performance. EBITDA margin guidance has been also raised to 20%+ from 19-20%.
- Despite wage hike impact of 250bp, EBITDA margin came in at 20%, at the upper end of the 19-20% FY24 guidance. Operating leverage and realization improvement helped offset the impact.
- With the strong Q2 performance, we are upgrading our FY24 PAT estimate to INR 580cr+ vs INR 550cr+ earlier and FY25 PAT of INR 730cr+ vs INR 700cr+ earlier.
