Investment rationale
Limited impact of Covid-19 – LTI performed relatively well with revenue growth of 4.7%/17.4% QoQ/YoY. Growth was seen across the verticals with ramp up of E&U deals and two large deal wins with a net TCV value of USD100 million. Besides, better pricing in new onsite deal led to higher realization. Digital segment continued to remain strong contributing 40.7% of revenues. However, manufacturing and energy vertical which contribute 28.2% of revenue are expected to be under pressure due to Covid-19.
Industrial outlook and macros are supportive to the growth - The impact of digital technologies-Analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Cognitive Sciences and Mobility continues to be felt, with the growth in these segments higher than the rest. These technologies are expected to be the major growth segments in global IT spends going forward. The industry is expected to grow to US$350 billion by 2025 and BPM is expected to account for US$ 50-55 billion out of the total revenue.
