Elara Securities on Persistent Systems

The company continues to impress with strong broad-based growth. “We expect a strong growth momentum to continue, barring quarterly fluctuations. We build in 17.6% and 18.4% USD and INR revenue growth in FY24-27E, taking the total revenue to USD 1.9bn in FY27E (against a guidance of USD 2bn). We believe that rationalization of costs with strong revenue growth may help operating leverage. We build in 25% EBIT CAGR over the same period, factoring in 17% EBIT margin in FY27E,” said the brokerage firm Elara Securities in a research note. The brokerage house has given an “Accumulate” rating with a target price of Rs 5,880. However, the brokerage looks lower-than-expected revenue growth and margin expansion not panning out as per expectations as the key risks for the stock.
