Strong Fourth Quarter Results
Coforge posted strong fourth-quarter results, with revenue growing 2% in constant currency. This exceeded Motilal Oswal's estimate of 1.5% and highlights the company's operational strength and market positioning.
Significant Order Book Fuels Future Growth
While fourth-quarter order intake was $648 million, a 69.5% year-over-year decrease, Coforge secured a substantial 12-month executable order book valued at $1.75 billion. This strong pipeline offers significant visibility for future revenue.
Margins Climb, Profits Surge on Strong Execution
EBIT margins improved to 16.6%, beating the 15% estimate. Adjusted Profit After Tax (PAT) surged an impressive 119% year-on-year to INR 6.6 billion, surpassing the INR 4.8 billion estimate. The Free Cash Flow (FCF) to Net Income (NI) ratio was a healthy 76.3% for FY26.
Motilal Oswal Sees 54% Upside from Rs 1800 Target
Motilal Oswal views Coforge as a structurally strong mid-tier IT player, citing an improving margin profile, consistent deal wins, and steady demand for AI-led managed services. The brokerage values the company at 26 times its FY28E Earnings Per Share (EPS), setting a target price of INR 1,800. This valuation implies a potential 54% upside from current levels, supporting Motilal Oswal's BUY rating.
