Management View:

The Company expects to hire about 30,000 freshers in FY23, as the IT services major strives to ensure that supply is not a constraint in managing the robust demand environment.
Attrition is a reality across almost all industries. It has been no different for the Company. The Company had shared with media last quarter that it expects attrition to slow down only after a few more quarters. However, it now feels more confident of having stabilized its attrition rates in Q3, and expect it to moderate next quarter.
Outlook for the quarter ending March 31, 2022 – The Company expects Revenue from our IT Services business to be in the range of $2,692 million to $2,745 million. This translates to a sequential growth of 2.0% to 4.0%.

 

Valuation & View:

At the CMP of Rs 691, the stock is trading at annualized P/E multiple of 31 times with the annualized EPS of Rs 22.28, which is fairly valued.
