On Friday, an Investec (JO:INLJ) analyst updated the price target for LTIMindtree Ltd (NS:LTIM:IN), increasing it to INR5,600 from INR5,370. Despite the adjustment, the firm maintained its Sell rating on the company's stock. The adjustment follows LTIMindtree's recent financial performance, which showed a quarter-over-quarter revenue growth of 2.3% in constant currency, aligning with estimates.
The company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) percentage remained stable at 15.5%, though it was slightly below expectations by approximately 30 basis points. The revenue increase was consistent across various industry verticals, with banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), as well as healthcare, contributing significantly to the growth.
Management's commentary on the financial results pointed to an expected weaker revenue growth in the second half of the year. This forecast is attributed to anticipated furloughs and a reduced number of working days. Additionally, upcoming wage increases are likely to impact the company's profit margins.
Investec's stance remains unchanged, as the firm sees no significant alterations to their estimates for LTIMindtree's financial outlook. The reiterated Sell rating comes with the revised target price of INR5,600, which reflects a modest increase from the previous target. The analyst noted that despite LTIMindtree's stock experiencing a meaningful re-rating, it has not been accompanied by a commensurate level of outperformance.
