Technology stocks took a dive last week with many of them falling by 5 to 10%. In this video, I explain the key metrics to look for when evaluating Indian IT Sector companies. More specifically, we shall examine the business strengths, operational efficiency and valuations of companies like Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), HCL Technologies, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, LTI-Mindtree, MPhasis, Persistent Systems and Coforge. These Indian IT companies represents the bulk of India's IT Service exports and are what we generally define as information technology stocks

[@agytjax]

Being an IT worker myself, it is astounding how you have captured the business model and the terminologies like a seasoned expert. Kudos for another well researched and well articulated presentation ! An IT services company is a different beast in itself and treating it as a conventional company is hazardous. You have rightly covered all the aspects that helps one to evaluate an IT company.

[@shankarnath]

Thank you very much for your appreciation and kind endorsement. I've done 5 sectors already and its surprising when I start researching them, the one area that doesn't feature in most cases is PE ratio. However there are millions of investors who decide an investible business just on that single valuation tool (I'm sorry to say but I have seen quite a few KZbin videos where the only point discussed is the PE ratio without a view on how strong the business model is). I am glad you found this video's content relevant and I'm happy you messaged me on this. Patting my own back now :)

[@agytjax]

@@shankarnath Yes. I concur with you on the PE bit. Most influencers only look at the company’s PE in regards to the sector PE to determine if the scrip is fairly priced. Unlike other industries, the output here is intangible and is mainly a product of putting one’s mind to work. Also, replacing one developer with another with sane skillset won’t work, as there is so much of project specific contextual knowledge involved. That’s why attrition is a big concern. You have aptly covered determinants like onsite/offshore mix, visa issues, localisation, attrition, utilisation etc., which are rarely talked about by other influencers

excellent detailed video. this is very valuable for all of us invested in IT stocks and seeing their value erode at present. my key takeaway is to look at companies which are future focused in terms of preparing for AI and AI- Modeling tasks. and keeping attrition levels under control. Thanks, Shankar!!

[@shankarnath]

Most welcome, Ravi ji. Glad you found the video useful and informative. I'm sure 2-3 years from now, the needle would have moved and it's possible that new metrics would have replaced some of the older ones. E.g. today we see employee strength as an important factor but who knows, 5 years from now when a lot is automated, these companies might need less employees and the patents they hold might be the more important things. Yes, you're right .. tracking the numbers and tracking the landscape are both important

I’m happy that my pick Infosys (disclaimer: I’m an investor) is fairly good on most of the parameters that you have discussed in the video.

[@adityakapoor001]

The biggest challenge that IT sector will face if adapting to new technologies. The success of Indian IT companies has been that they have commoditised what was considered niche skills earlier. They will need to continue to do so in face of new challenges like generative AI which will automate a lot of work that IT companies were doing. Really a good video but one will need to keep track on disruptor technologies.

[@shankarnath]

Thank you! It's a good point you raise. IMO most products & services will be commoditized over time. It'll come down to which areas specific companies & countries pick .. and from what we've seen, Indian companies often pick the right horse to ride.

Can you please clarify more on how did you find the data on the split between Fixed Price and T&M IT contracts for companies? Also, how do we keep track on the number of customers for the IT companies?

[@shankarnath]

You can find the information in the company's annual report. As an example - please examine page 237 of Infosys's 2021-22 annual report. There's a line that says: The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for each of the years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 is approximately 53%. Again, for number of customers - the annual report has the information. Please refer to page 44 of the annual report. The number of clients is 1,741 for FY2021-22

[@zmzabuawala]

Awesome learning, its been some time now but after watching your videos I have unsubscribe all other KZbinrs who always push to sell their Stock market courses or ask to us join their paid community.

[@shankarnath]

Glad you found it useful. I found your point really intriguing but logically, KZbinrs/content creators will certainly use their own channel to offer their services (courses, paid newsletters, community etc.) to their viewers. Even I will do it at some stage because my channel is where my target audience is. And everyone does it - a stall owner will setup where the crowd is, a news channel will go where the breaking news it etc. But what I think is really happening here is absorption i.e. as viewers & taking you as an example .. so because you are so involved in the content that some of us are offering, the mind might be taking a paid offering in the middle as a pattern break. This is like an advertisement and while the brain has become used to it when we watch it on TV or see it in a newspaper or even KZbin ads now -- it will take a little more time for our mind to be accustomed to it when the content creator him/herself advertises his/her own products. Or atleast that's how I read into it :)

Is there any known reason why LTI Mindtree PE ratio valuation is so high compared to other industry players, and their own longterm pe ratio.

[@jigneshmehta7722]

LTI and Mindtree merged to form LTIMindtree and screener seems to have buggy P/E ratio for them ever since. The correct EPS is about Rs. 163 and hence the P/E works out to be roughly 25.6. Till they fix the bug, gather the EPS from a research report and calculate the P/E based on EPS given in the report.

Earnings transcript for guidance on EBITDA, topline & any challenges faced by the company 4. Research reports (I listed a few of them in the video's description) 5. Google news and articles searched via Google 6. KZbin videos (I didn't find relevant videos for IT services sector but other times, I do find 2-3 good videos)

[@AP-qu8sl]

@@shankarnath ty. The reason I’m asking is, the salaries in India have gone up tremendously so the cost advantage that the Indian IT companies had is going down. It’s still there but not so much

[@shankarnath]

@@AP-qu8sl Actually I mentioned parts of that in the video. So, two points: 1. The average cost per employee is still 3.5-3.6 lakhs and it has been around that number for many years now. As 40% of the work IT Service companies do is still on a T&M basis, any increase in cost of employees will be adequate absorbed without affecting the margins 2. The use of AI, automation etc. is delineating the revenue growth with the employee growth. I think as this trend grows, IT companies will make more money without having to put in as many employees Ofcourse this point 2 is a double edged sword and there can be some disruption aswell but on the face of it, it seems we Indians will be the one doing that disruption.

[@AP-qu8sl]

@@shankarnath ty so much for your thoughts and responses. I’m invested in IT sector mutual funds and I’m having second thoughts to move to more diversified funds instead because of this.

27000 startups how many are profitable 😂😂. Don't celebrate startup their are just burning money. For me simple of resources are given to any sector in excsess than comes the time of balancing it take a decade same happen with fossil fuels , hardware now software so it is over. Just wait for it come to pennies and then it might become some good investment going forward as of now how things stand their are very difficult to survive unless they are strt layoffs and salary cut

[@vijaymishra6963]

So in such scenario lot of loan default from HDFC and also the FMCG will feed their junks to whom, because these IT guys drive their supplies . So it will also drop to its 50% also many more industries will follow. Saying that it will become penny is very easy but if it does it will screw up every other market.
