JOLTS Job Openings (Jun) 7.44M vs 7.5M Expected
On Friday, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) reiterated its positive stance on Infosys (NS:INFY) Ltd. (INFO:IN) (NYSE: INFY), maintaining an Overweight rating and a price target of INR2,150.00. The firm's analysts project that Infosys will raise its revenue growth guidance for the fiscal year 2025 (F25), which may lead to potential upward surprises in performance.
They anticipate that the company will continue to secure large deals, estimating the total contract value for significant agreements in the third quarter of F25 to be between $3.5 to $4.0 billion. Notably, they expect nearly half of these deals to be new wins, contributing $1.75 to $2.0 billion.
The analysts forecast that Infosys will uphold a margin outlook of 20-22% for the entire year and express a positive outlook for the fiscal year 2026 (F26). They noted that Infosys's stock performance was on par with the Nifty IT index in 2024 but lagged behind its larger-cap peers.
The firm suggests that if Infosys's revenue growth exceeds expectations in the upcoming quarters, as their estimates indicate, the company might reduce the valuation disparity with its competitors, including Tata Consultancy Services (NS:TCS).
The report highlights Infosys's potential in the market, based on the firm's above-consensus revenue forecasts for F25 and F26. The analysts' expectations are rooted in the company's ability to secure large deals and maintain a stable margin outlook, which could contribute to a stronger financial performance.
Morgan Stanley's analysis indicates a robust future for Infosys, with the possibility of closing the valuation gap with industry peers, provided the company achieves the anticipated revenue growth.
