Mphasis | Broadly inline, confident on ‘industry leading Direct growth’: Rating: Buy | Target: Rs 3,380 | Upside: 23% Mphasis’s Q4 FY22 performance was tad higher than estimates on revenue growth with a slight sequential increase in the DXC business (after the sharp declines through every single quarter through FY20-22) even as the Direct business grew by 4.7% QoQ. Growth moderated sequentially in the BFS vertical in 4Q with other verticals picking up the slack. EBIT margins improved by 10 bps QoQ aided by growth leverage even as Mphasis continues to push the pedal on headcount addition in recent times. Net profit came in tad higher courtesy forex gains. Strong net new wins at USD 1.43 billion for FY22 should allay concerns on likely macro impact and provide comfort on FY23 growth prospects as company suggests no near term impact on client spend/behaviour. We tweak FY23/24E lower by 2-3% driven by slight margin adjustments and higher ETR. We retain buy with a revised target of Rs 3,380 (based on unchanged 32x FY24 EPS).
