    Financials
    For the quarter ended 30-06-2022, the company has reported a Consolidated Total Income of Rs 636.71 Crore, down -19.15 % from last quarter Total Income of Rs 787.52 Crore and up 68.77 % from last year same quarter Total Income of Rs 377.26 Crore. Company has reported net profit after tax of Rs 144.19 Crore in latest quarter.

    Investment Rationale
    The company ensured robust execution in FY22 as the business environment improved post-removal of Covid restrictions and vaccination drive. Moreover, several improvements in its overseas business environment resulted in higher export sales during the year. The company achieved the highest-ever revenue in exports and foreign consultancy while achieving higher overall profits owing to superior execution and stringent resource management. With excellent order book position, the company's efficient execution prowess, better traction in major business verticals, and a clean balance sheet, it expects RITES Revenues/EBITDA/APAT to grow at 7%/4%/9% CAGR respectively over FY22-24E. However, the recent appreciation in stock price leaves with limited upside and hence it changes rating from BUY to HOLD. It values the company at 12.5x FY24E EPS to arrive at a target price of Rs 315 /share (Rs 295/share earlier), implying an upside of only 5% from the CMP.
