WIPRO Wipro reported Q2FY23 gross revenue at $2.80B (CIER estimate: $2.82B), up 12.9% YoY in CC; gross revenue was Rs.225.4B in INR (CIER estimate: Rs.223.3B), up 11.5% YoY in INR. The order book TCV grew 23.8% YoY. Net Income for the quarter stood at Rs. 26.6 Bn. ($326.8 million), up 3.5% sequentially and down 8.1% YoY.By segments- the flagship IT Services Segment Revenue stood at $2,798 Mn,showing an increase of just 8.4% YoY; IT Products segment revenue for the quarter was $15.3 Mn; India SRE segment revenue for the quarter was $19.4 Mn.IT Services operating margin for the quarter was at 15.1%, a 16 bps improvement QoQ sequentially, inline with management's belief that margins had bottomed last quarter.The fall in profits was due to fall in margin due to higher employee costs, especially in India. Consulting business (including UK-based Capco) is also slowing down.The management has guided with a muted outlook for next quarter revenues from IT services. forecasting them to be in the range of $2,811 Mn. to $2,853 Mn, which translates to a sequential growth of ~0.5-2%. Company expects that margin in Q3 will also face some headwinds due to the impact of two mincremental months of salary increase. While the stock has been beaten down ~40% in the past one year, we feel that the poor prospects of the company (worsened by 28% of business coming from Europe, including a large chunk of business from Capco acquisition) leave some more downside to the stock. Based on DCF valuation methodology, we changeour rating to Reduce and assign a target price of 373 (earlier 400), implying a 17.2x PE (earlier 18x) to forecasted NTM EPS of Rs. 20.9 (earlier 21.1). TECHM Tech Mahindra Ltd. reported CC Revenue growth of 2.9% sequentially to $1638M,up 0.3% sequentially in USD terms- this was 2.8% lower than our USD growthestimates. INR depreciation aided the company to perform slightly better in INR terms, with revenue coming at Rs. 13,129 cr, up 3.3% sequentially and 20.7% YoY.Growth was balanced, with the Communications, Media, and Entertainment vertical growing at 3.1% and the Enterprise vertical growing at 2.8% in CC. EBIT for the quarter was at $184 million (in rupee terms Rs. 1,477 cr.) versus $177 mn in Q1 (in rupee terms Rs.1404 cr).Employee, subcontracting, and SG&A expenses this quarter came in higher than forecasted, leading Gross margins to come 106 bps lower than expected at 27.9%.However, higher than expected Other Income of Rs 290 cr (partially due to investment income and the rest coming from currency hedges) caused the EBIT margin to expand 20 bps sequentially to 11.3%.Operational performance of the company was stable this quarter. The total headcount was up 3.7% sequentially to 163,912. Utilization rose to 85%, up from 83% in Q1FY23 though still down from 87% in Q2FY22 (which has left some scope for improvement as freshers get deployed).Active Customers are up by 17 to 1279. Performance was muted in terms of deal wins (which were $716M this quarter visavis $802M in the previous quarter and $750M in Q1FY22). Free Cash Flows rebounded to $253M (from $72M last quarter and $188M in Q2FY22).Hence, we believe that the share price has corrected excessively over the past 10 months, and the company is placed well for a re-rating. Hence, we maintain our OUTPERFORM rating while raising the target price to Rs.1,321 (earlier Rs. 1,200) which we derive by raising our target PE from 19.7x to 20x (1.2 SD from its 5-year mean PE) and target NTM EPS from Rs. 60.9 to Rs. 66.1. TATAELXSI Tata Elxsi delivered 5.1% growth in Q1FY23, with EBITDAM at 29.7%. Company’s growth was primarily volume-led, with IDV and SIS segments showing robust growth of 13.5% and 26.2% QoQ respectively; EPD showed slower growth at 3.2%.The management has commented about entering the second quarter with a strong order book and a healthy deal pipeline across key markets and industries and emphasizes that company has invested in capacity and capability building forengineering talent, leadership and technology to support growth.Revenue came slightly lower than CIER estimates at Rs. 763 cr, a 5.1% growth sequentially and 28.2% growth YoY. Healthcare continues to witness strong growthof 8.2% QoQ and 55.9% YoY, driven by new product engineering and regulatory services. Transportation segment grew 3.8% QoQ and 30.4% YoY, aided by largedeals in EV, ADAS and adjacencies in rail and offroad vehicles. Media and Communications reported growth at 2.1% QoQ and 22.2% YoY, aided by platform led deals and entry into new operator accounts.Margins cooling: After past few quarters showing high margins, margins for this quarter got impacted due to high number of net additions (1532, the highest ever)and lag in utilization due to training, onboarding and deployment. Other costs such as facility operation costs have increased as employees are resuming work fromoffice.Management is focused on growing the talent pool: In FY23E the company plans to hire ~3000-3500 freshers and ~1000-1500 lateral employees, based on the business needs and taking into account the elevated attrition rates.Whilst we are confident about the growth of the company, we feel skeptical regarding company being able to maintain margins at a level that justifies current level of valuation. We have hence ascribed Reduce rating with a DCF-based target price of Rs. 7,963 implying a PE of 63x on NTM EPS of Rs. 125. SUNPHARMA Sun Pharma Q2FY23 results were in line with our expectations as Revenue/ EBITDA /PAT saw a deviation of 3.6% / 3.9% / 2.3% from our estimates. Sun Pharma reported top line of INR 1,09,523 (up 13.8% YoY and 1.8% QoQ) which was led by global specialty business, India and emerging markets. Q2FY23 EBITDA at INR 29,566mn (up12.4% YoY and 2.5% QoQ) and margin at 27% (down 33bps YoY and up 19bps QoQ) was driven by sequentially lower operating and staff cost, off-set by forex loss. India formulation business In Q2FY23, the India formulation business (32% of totalrevenue), grew 8.5% YoY and 2.2% QoQ to INR 34,600mn, driven by healthy launches (34 new products) and increase in market share by 0.5% to 8.6%. The segment witnessed good growth across therapies in chronic and sub-chronic US formulation business During the quarter, the US business (30.4% of total revenue),grew 22.9% YoY and 1.5% QoQ to INR 32,913mn (US$ 412mn), led by robust sales ofIllumya, Cequa and Winlevi. The global specialty sales crossed US$ 200mn revenue mark. Margin performance During the quarter, gross margin came at 75.3% (up ~220bps QoQ and 150bps YoY) due to higher specialty sales. EBITDA was reported at INR 29,566mn (up 12.4% YoY and 2.5% QoQ) and margin at 27% (down 33bps YoY and up19bps QoQ) was driven by sequentially lower operating and staff cost, off-set by forexloss (due to adverse currency movement) Outlook & Valuation Increasing business across key therapies in India through new launches and increasing the market share Focusing on expanding the global specialty portfolio into other markets and improving its access Conscious efforts towards increasing the R&D spend to build a strong specialty and generic R&D pipeline. We introduce the FY25 estimate and expect the above drivers to yield Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 12%/12.1%/15.9% between FY22-25E. We value the stock based on Sep-24E EPS to arrive at a target price of INR 1,162 (valuing at 28x) and maintain our ADD rating.
