Morgan Stanley has kept overweight call on the stock with a target of Rs 3,150 per share.

The acquisition of Blink is significant in comparison to recent acquisition, while it is selective, niche and bold move to expand addressable market, said Morgan Stanley

Citi has maintained neutral rating on the stock with a target of Rs 3,070 per share.

According to Citi, the Blink acquisition will add 2-3% to company’s revenue and Blink is expected to dilute margin by 100 bps over 2 years.

The company management expects to offset the margin impact through revenue & cost synergies, Citi added.

Motilal Oswal has maintained buy rating on Mphasis with a target price of Rs 3,560.

Mphasis is paying USD 94 million, including earn-outs, but excluding retention bonuses. Blink has clocked ~42% revenue CAGR over CY17-21 and has guided at a revenue of USD 33-35m in CY21. This implies a trailing EV/sales of 2.8x, which we view as reasonable, given the strong growth and cross-sell opportunities, said Motilal Oswal.
