Cyient: Q4 numbers

The Hyderabad-headquartered firm posted a net profit of Rs 176 crore for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022–23, up 8.1 per cent QoQ and 14.1 per cent YoY. The group's revenue rose 48.3 per cent YoY and 8.2 per cent QoQ to Rs 1,751.4 crore, as per the company's release. 

Further, the group's revenue growth in constant currency terms stood at 6.6 per cent QoQ and 39.1 per cent YoY and its consolidated services segment revenue stood at Rs 1,448.9 crore, with QoQ growth of 5 per cent and YoY growth of 47.3 per cent. Further, the group's EBIT came in at Rs 249.4 crore, with a margin of 14.2 per cent, the company said. Its Core Services order Intake grew by 13.3 per cent YoY and offshoring for Core Services was 53.4 per cent.

Post the Q4 results, analysts at IDBI Capital said, "Cyient reported strong organic growth in services revenues in Q4FY23 led by transport vertical. Going forward, the company has guided services revenue growth of 15-20 per cent and 100-200 bps improvement in margins. We have conservatively built-in revenue growth of 17 per cent due to macro uncertainty and possible delay in revenue conversion. The growth in revenues is expected to be driven by strong double-digit growth in aerospace, communication and inorganic contribution. Further, we have taken the lower end of margin expansion of nearly 100 bps improvement in services margins. Despite this conservative assumption, our EPS has been upgraded by 5 per cent in FY25E. Hence, we maintain a 'BUY' rating on the stock with a revised target price of Rs 1,265 (17x FY25E EPS)
