Thematic (Sector/Industry)

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. 
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. 
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.
