HCL Tech surged over 9% during the week. According to an IIFL report released in the week,
“Higher transitioning on new deals, mostly related to the infrastructure services space, led to a better-than-expected 4% QoQ growth in revenues (constant-currency) at HCL Tech during 4QFY09. being signed in 4QFY09 (for comparison, US$1.5bn of new deals were signed in 9mFY09).
Against other vendors,
HCL Tech’s
dependence on new deals is high (only 88% of HCL’s revenue in 4Q came from repeat business, vs ~99% at Infosys, Wipro and TCS) and the ebb in new deal flow would have a larger impact on its growth. Our concerns over the bankruptcy of a large customer, continued decline in its BPO business and poor demand environment for Axon remain. We maintain Reduce”.
The top loser was Sasken Communication. The stock fell 5% during the week.
