Result Preview Strong 2Q growth momentum despite supply challenges
Demand strong, growth outlook to remain intact
 We expect a median growth of 5.4% CC QoQ in 2QFY22 in our IT Services
coverage universe. Topline performance is expected to remain strong across our
coverage, led by a robust demand environment and deal wins. Tier II IT should
continue to outpace Tier I IT in terms of growth.
 Tier I companies should deliver revenue growth between 3.9% and 6.9% QoQ
CC, while Tier II companies will have a wider growth band (4.9-10.5% QoQ CC).
 Management commentary in FY22 will remain strong, with better than usual
seasonality in 3Q, which can aid the full year outlook. We expect INFO to again
raise its FY22 revenue growth guidance, while HCLT should see an improvement
in its growth trajectory to low teens. Commentary on medium term growth will
Coforge be a key monitorable.
Cyient  Recent earnings from industry peer ACN indicate a strong and sustainable
HCL Tech demand environment, with continued spend on Digital and Cloud adoption.
Infosys INFO to lead organic revenue growth within Tier I, MTCL in midcap
L&T Infotech  INFO should lead revenue growth in Tier I IT (+5.7% QoQ CC) on an organic basis,
L&T Technology while WPRO should deliver 6.9% QoQ reported growth. This will be followed by
Mindtree TCS (+4.2% QoQ CC), TECHM (+4.2% QoQ CC), and HCLT (3.9% QoQ CC).
Mphasis  Among Tier II IT, we expect upbeat revenue traction across our coverage
Persistent universe, with MTCL leading the pack with 8.5% QoQ CC growth, aided by deal
TCS ramp ups and broad based growth. PSYS and MPHL (Direct business) should also
Tech Mahindra deliver strong performance in 2QFY22, with a growth above 6% QoQ.
Wipro Supply-side issues a key headwind for margins
Zensar  We see a dip in margins for most companies on supply-side pressures (attrition
and hiring), along with a wage hike impact (INFO, WPRO, PSYS, and ZENT).
Among Tier I IT, TCS should be the exception with a margin expansion, while
WPRO will have the highest erosion (180bp) on account of a wage hike, absence
of one-time tailwind and Capco impact. In Tier II IT, COFORGE should buck the
trend with 200bp margin increase on better IP margin, while ZENT will see a
340bp dip due to a wage hike and sales related investments in 2QFY22.
 While skill specific cost has increased in the market, we expect companies to try
to right size their pyramids in order to offset the increase. Hiring across our IT
coverage will continue to remain high as companies try to fulfill demand and
backfill growing attrition, which will be a key focus area for investors.
 Tier I IT companies are better placed to absorb the supply pressure, given their
capabilities with regard to training employees in newer skills.
Expect solid PAT growth
 We expect our IT coverage universe to deliver a PAT growth of ~12% YoY and 1%
QoQ. TCS/INFO is expected to report a PAT growth of 16%/9% YoY. PAT growth
for HCLT would be subdued on account of a YoY dip in margin. We expect
TECHM to post the highest YoY PAT growth within Tier I IT on strong margin
expansion over the past four quarters.

 Tier II IT is expected to report a strong PAT growth (25% YoY and 3% QoQ). This
will be driven by strong revenue growth, but will be partially offset by lower
EBIT margin. We expect PSYS/COFORGE/CYL to lead the Tier II IT pack in terms
of YoY PAT growth.
Valuation and view: Prefer INFO/HCLT/LTTS/MPHL/ZENT/CYL
 While sector valuations remain elevated, we remain positive as the demand
environment continues to improve. Double-digit topline growth should be
sustainable in the medium term. We see continued strength in demand, led by:
1) larger deals on a full-scale Digital transformation, 2) increased volume of cost
takeout deals, and 3) higher spends on Cloud migration by large corporates.
 Continued strong sequential growth momentum and expectation of qualitative
commentary on growth beyond FY22 should help sustain the rally in IT stocks,
despite their premium valuations.
 We prefer Tier I IT over Tier II peers given their relative valuation attractiveness
and tendency to narrow down the valuation differential over time. Among Tier I
IT, we like INFO and HCLT. We expect INFO to deliver top quartile growth,
backed by strong deal wins. HCLT is one of the key beneficiaries of Cloud
adoption at scale, given its expertise in IMS.
 In Tier II IT, we prefer LTTS, MPHL, ZENT, and CYL. We expect LTTS to deliver
strong growth over the medium term, led by robust demand for ER&D services.
MPHL’s Direct business is seeing industry leading growth. We expect this growth
momentum to continue. ZENT remains a high confidence play on the back of a
business recovery due to change in the management and adoption of a new
strategy.
