    Investment Rationale
    The company's combined exposure to Telecom, Technology and Media, some of the most stressed sectors in the current environment, is 52%, clouding outlook. Likely muted growth will further push out margin recovery. While 5G within Telecom is a bright spot, economic uncertainty could delay new roll-outs and large deals there as well.

    Further, though PER has corrected by 28% TTM (next only to Wipro), the brokerage sees further correction as growth/margins lag peers. The brokerage values the stock at13.5x forward EPS, 1-SD (of 5 year mean PER) below current PER. Further, it remains circumspect of any quick turnaround in the company and assume coverage with a Sell rating.
