Investment Rationale
Relatively higher revenue share from the US and lower exposure to troubled verticals places Infosys in a better position to navigate through the current demand environment. That said, current FY24EBloomberg consensus revenue estimates (implying 3% CQGR through 1QFY24-4QFY24) look optimistic. The brokerage sees risks to the downside to current estimates.

Further, Infosys is currently trading at 23% premium versus its past 5-year median, a premium next only to that of (29%). Hence, the brokerage, sees limited re-rating potential in the near term. The 20% up-movesince the lows of September has eroded the valuation comfort. Though JM Financial believes Infosysremains the safest bet in an uncertain environment, it will await a better entry point to golong.
