Tech Mahindra shares likely to rebound after blockbuster deal with AT&T

In comparison, its larger rivals Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys saw their stock surge 14% and 24%, respectively, this year. The S&P BSE IT …

MUMBAI (NewsRise) — Indian software exporter Tech Mahindra‘s big-ticket outsourcing deal with AT&T could breathe fresh life into the Mahindra Group company’s shares, as it potentially bulks up the sagging communications business and raises the prospects of strong revenue growth.

Mumbai-based Tech Mahindra’s shares have lost 2.4% since the beginning of 2019 after they gained 43% last year. In comparison, its larger rivals Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys saw their stock surge 14% and 24%, respectively, this year. The S&P BSE IT index added 13% during this period.

Tech Mahindra’s shares have underperformed its rivals and the BSE IT Index as its weak earnings growth in the past two quarters raised concerns among investors about a further decline in margins.

However, the new deal could help the stock recover. Last week, Tech Mahindra announced one of its largest-ever project wins that could be worth $1 billion over the next four to five years. The contract entailed migration of the U.S. telecom behemoth’s traditional operational and support software systems to cloud and drawing up its software-defined network for the next-generation cellular technology. Tech Mahindra declined to give any financial details of the deal.

The deal is likely to give a fillip to Tech Mahindra’s financial performance, which has been lackluster in the past two quarters as the company struggled with client-specific issues and declining investments from automobile and financial services businesses.

Analysts say revenue growth is crucial for Tech Mahindra to expand its margins. The announcement of AT&T deal comes “as a booster to that effect,” Motilal Oswal said in a report.

The project also underscores the strong deal momentum in the communications industry as operators prepare to modernize their infrastructure ahead of the launch of 5G mobile phone services.

Brokerage Edelweiss expects the deal to catapult Tech Mahindra’s communications revenue — which accounts for over 40% of its overall revenue — to 12% over fiscal year 2019 to 2021 from 6.5%.

“While the deal ramp-up and transition may pressure margins, the potential for a re-rating of the stock is significant too as this landmark deal would boost the company’s single-digit growth estimates currently,” it said. Edelweiss has a target price of 935 rupees on the stock.

“We see this deal as an investment that Tech Mahindra is making to get a large referenceable project to market to the global telecom universe that is at the cusp of pivoting to the 5G era,” Nirmal Bang said in a report Monday. The deal also augurs well for other Indian IT companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, and Wipro which have substantial exposure to the communications sector and have partnerships with AT&T.

Tech Mahindra shares fell 1.3% to close at 703.70 rupees in Mumbai trading on Wednesday, while the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex gained 0.3%.

Stock, currency markets shut today for Muharram

Domestic stock exchanges, currency as well as debt markets will remain closed on Tuesday on account of Muharram. The commodities market will …
Domestic stock exchanges, currency as well as debt markets will remain closed on Tuesday on account of Muharram. The commodities market will also remain shut during the first session from 10 am to 5 pm.

Asian stocks traded mixed this morning after a global bond sell-off and their US peers snapping three days of gains. Treasury yields stabilized after Monday’s climb.

Equities saw a modest rise in Tokyo and Seoul, and dipped in Sydney. S&P 500 futures edged higher after US stocks closed flat with sectors that had driven a recent rally such as health-care, tech and real estate underperforming. UK contracts were little changed after the British Parliament again rejected an early election. The pound was steady.

On Monday, India’s benchmark equity indices ended higher following gains in select financial stocks amid firm global cues. The 30-share BSE Sensex closed 163.68 points, or 0.44 per cent, higher at 37,145, while the 50-share Nifty index settled 56.85 points, or 0.52 per cent, up at 11,003.

“Nifty will remain in the range of 10,800-11,200 this week. Traders should sell on the rise,” said Nirav Chheda, derivatives & technical analyst at Nirmal Bang Securities.

Equity markets would track announcement of some key macroeconomic data points in this holiday-shortened week for further cues.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, said the market reversed its early losses on Monday based on the positive view in the global market that interest rate will be eased further by ECB. “Global uncertainties like Brexit and US-China talks will be watched carefully by the market. While domestically, data like CPI, IIP, and FII inflows during the week will be assessed to understand whether the worst for the economy is over or weakness will continue in the short term,” he said.

Overseas investors have already pulled out a net of Rs 1,263 crore from the capital markets in the first week of September amid global headwinds even as the government rolled back enhanced surcharge on FPIs. They remained net sellers for the previous two months, pulling out Rs 5,920 crore in August and Rs 2,985 crore in July from the domestic capital markets (both equity and debt).

FPIs withdrew more than Rs 30,000 crore from the equities during July-August after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her maiden Budget enhanced tax surcharge on them.
