HCL Technologies: P&P an Optical Drag but Services Strong

By Nirmal Bang

KNR Constructions: Superior Execution with a Comfortable Balance Sheet

By Motilal Oswal

  • KNRC sits on a strong order book of ~INR100b (excluding recently won projects), which provides clear revenue visibility for the next three years.
  • It has received appointed dates (AD) for two HAM projects in Jan’22 and financial closure (FC) in one HAM project in Apr’22, which will support execution in FY23E and FY24E.
  • We expect margin to stay elevated, despite inflationary pressures from higher commodity prices, as a sizable portion (~26%) of its order book consists of irrigation projects.

Larsen and Toubro: Strong Demand and Improving Deal Flow to Drive Growth in FY23

By Motilal Oswal

  • LTTS reported a 3.6% QoQ CC growth in 4QFY22, 90bp below our estimate due to softer growth in Industrial Products (-0.5% QoQ), Medical Devices (flat QoQ), and Telecom and Hi-Tech (+1.1% QoQ), while Transportation grew a robust 7.8% QoQ.
  • Despite the large 400bp shift in its on-site revenue mix and lower utilization (-80bp QoQ), operating margin was flat QoQ.
  • Attrition spiked to 20.4% (+290bp QoQ) in 4QFY22, indicating continued supply pressures.
