Recommend ADD
The company has highlighted that the pipeline is the highest as of now. Auto
industry IT spend is expected to grow by 10-12% which will benefit KPIT also.
We expect KPIT to report an EPS of Rs.6.8/share in FY22E (earlier Rs.6.4) and
an EPS of Rs.8.7/share in FY23E (earlier Rs.7.8) led by growth in Passenger
Cars, Commercial vehicles and New Mobility vertical. Also, rupee depreciation
and margin improvement will further support earnings growth. Its technology-
led transformation gives decent revenue visibility over the next 4-5 years. We
recommend ADD rating on the stock with a revised price target of Rs.208 (earlier
Rs.136). We value the stock at a PE of 24x on FY23E earnings (earlier 18x)
considering earnings growth at a CAGR of 28.7% during FY21-FY23E.
