eClerx Services Ltd - Potential Catalysts

  • New acquisitions would drive the top-line growth

  • Establishing its global delivery capabilities with operations in three European and two Asian countries including India

  • Emerging clients taking the top position, supporting the top-line growth

  • The short term projects to contribute more than half of revenue growth

 

eClerx Services Ltd - Recommendation

We expect the company to maintain its strong top-line growth in FY16E, which is driven by inorganic growth (CLX acquisition). We maintain a positive outlook for the company, despite the flattish growth expected in revenue and margins in Q4FY16E. We recommend a “BUY” rating at a CMP of 1345 with a target price of Rs.1594 per share.
