Valuation and view
Infosys intends to gain its status as the bellwether stock in coming few years. It has set forth a ‘Five Year Vision’ of reaching revenues worth US$ 20 bn by 2020. To retain the confidence of the investors in its earnings visibility, the company is focusing on transforming its legacy business model to segmented and more specific model assigning need based solutions applying cloud computing, artificial intelligence and leveraging on capacities arising from exclusivity of new and old companies via funding and acquisitions. We expect the company’s effort to provide it an edge against competition.
At a current market price (CMP) of Rs995, the stock trades at a P/E of 16.6x FY16E and 14.9x FY17E. We recommend ‘BUY’ with a target price of Rs 1,167, which implies potential upside of ~17% to the CMP from long term perspective.
