These reports offer NDTV Profit’s subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

Anand Rathi Report

From the previous quarter, no growth acceleration or deceleration seen in S&P 500 sectoral components. So, trading multiples for Indian IT are likely to hold at current levels.

Budgets are likely to be flattish but FY25 is starting on a better note from a growth standpoint: larger order backlog, steady (to potentially declining) interest-rate environment, and expectations of fewer deal cancellations ahead.

Despite these, delayed recovery expectations are leading to a ~2% estimate cut.

The median IT sector FY26e price-to-earning is now 24 times (unchanged from Q3), with FY25e PE at 28 times (unchanged).

In comparison, the Nifty-50 is trading at 18 times FY26e PE.

Top picks: Persistent Systems Ltd., Cyient Ltd., Mastek Ltd.
