We recently hosted Wipro management (Mr Jatin Dalal, CFO and Mr


Pavan Rao, IR) for investor meetings. Management spoke about its
ambitious 2020 goal of achieving USD15bn revenue with 23% operating
margins, drawing on a 7pronged theme. While acquisitions will be part
of the 2020 gameplan, efforts would be made to fill strategic gaps and
spruce up domain expertise. Client mining would be key to achieve
industryleading growth. While longterm growth prospects are intact,
management alluded to nearterm weakness from BFSI and energy
verticals. We believe turnaround in Wipro is still some time away, but
inexpensivevaluationsandbuybacklimitdownside.MaintainBUY.

Ambitious 2020 goal: Managements set forth its 2020 goal of achieving USD15bn
revenue with 23% operating margins, drawing on a 7pronged theme: 1) digital; 2)
client mining; 3) market; 4) nonlinearity; 5) hyper automation; 6) leveraging partner
ecosystem;and7)turbochargingannuityservices.Also,businessunits,serviceslines
andgeographieshaveplansalignedtothegoal.Althoughtheydidnotdiscloseorganic
and inorganic markers, they did spell out 4 areas for acquisitions, viz., 1) digital; 2)
businessprocessservices;3)localisation;and4)emergingcompaniesinbayarea.

Aligning organisation structure: Wipro has aligned its organisation structure to


enhance focus on emerging businesses and newer technology. The company has
retained its CEOCOO structure, with presidents and key executives reporting to Mr
Neemuchwala,CEO.

Near term guidance weak: Management stated that BFSI and energy utilities
(contribution >40% in FY16) are challenged and will be under pressure over next 23
quarters.Marginswouldbehitbysalaryhikeasmanagementrewardhighperformers

Wipro

Near term guidance weak: The company had guided QoQ revenue growth of 13% in 1Q,
including acquisitions. Weakness in energy and financial services (contribution >40% in
FY16) will persist for 23 more quarters. Energy is still in turmoil though recovery in the
Middle East is expected from 2Q. BFSI challenge continues as clients are undergoing
transition from core/traditional to digital. Management plans to reward high performing
employeealittleextrathanlastyear,whichwillimpactthemarginshigherthanlastyear.

Outlookandvaluations:Inforthelonghaul;maintainBUY
Immediate outlook for Wipro is weak. We expect the company to remain a laggard on
revenuegrowthfrontinTier1space.Whileweawaitsignsofturnaround,thecompanys
2020goalofachievingUSD15bnrevenueandOPMof23%isencouraging.Also,webelieve
the proposed buyback of up to 40mn shares at INR625/share protects downside.
Inexpensive valuation also leaves some room for upside. The stock trades at 12.3x FY18E
EPS.MaintainBUY/SPwithatargetpriceofINR650(15xFY18EEPS).
