Latest reported mix as compiled by Tijori from company disclosures; percentages of revenue.
As the company reports them. They can differ from the ratio table on the Financials tab, which uses Tijori's own definitions (for example NIM on average total assets rather than on interest-earning assets); the Cross-check panel there lines both up.
India's second-largest IT services exporter (FY26 revenue Rs 1,78,650 cr / Q1FY27 $5.08 bn) providing application services, cloud (Cobalt), AI (Topaz - 8.2% of revenue in Q1FY27), engineering and BPM to ~1,900 clients, mainly in North America and Europe (financial services, retail, manufacturing, communications). Operating margin 21.1%, FCF conversion 116% of PAT, and a policy of returning ~85% of FCF (FY26 dividend Rs 48/share; Rs 18,000 cr buyback completed Dec-2025).
TTM P/E 14.2x vs Jefferies' cited 5-yr average of 24x and 10-yr average of 20.5x (Mar-2025 note) - a ~40% discount to its own history; stock is -37% from 52-wk high Rs 1,728 after the Feb-2026 AI (Anthropic Claude) sell-off. P/B computed 1087/225. EV/EBITDA not computed (net cash not sourced). EV/EBITDA n.m.; dividend yield 4.4%.
| TCS | TCS trades at 15.2x with 2.8% yield and 52% ROE but 4.6% PAT growth in Q1; Infosys is cheaper (14.2x), yields 4.4%, and has larger net-new deal wins ($3.6 bn TCV, 61% net new) - Buoyant is buying the discount, not the franchise premium. |
| HCLTech | HCL (19.2x P/E, 4.2% yield) grew INR revenue 14% with 16.9% margin; Infosys offers 420 bps higher margin (21.1%) at a ~25% lower multiple, though HCL's products/ER&D mix has the better growth. |
| Wipro | Wipro is cheaper (12.9x, 6.4% yield) but has 8% 5-yr sales CAGR, flat Q1 PAT (+0.6%), 16% margin falling from 17.2%, and a 'cautious' Q2 guide - Infosys has structurally higher margin (21%) and ROE (32% vs 15.5%). |

Info Tech — 6.5%: mostly not IT services
The internal "Info Tech" bucket holds four very different businesses and only one of them — Infosys, at 0.7% — is the tactical IT-services trade the house describes in its notes. That trade is deliberately small. Price a mature services company at zero terminal growth with 100% of profits paid out and an 8% required yield and the floor is about 12x earnings; the sector fell from roughly 30x toward that floor, which made a small dip worth buying. We see neither a case above 20x nor a collapse below 12x: a corridor of uncertainty held at 2–3% across the strategy, a position we expect to eventually exit. The reason the upside is capped is AI: the work does not go away (the back end of US banking still runs on 1970s books that must reconcile with new front ends) but far fewer people will be needed to do it. Infosys guides 1.5–3% constant-currency growth for FY27 with AI already 8% of revenue. The other three names are owned for entirely different reasons. Kaynes is electronics manufacturing — India's EMS market went from $10–12 bn in FY20 to $40–45 bn in FY25 and could exceed $150 bn by FY30 on the back of PLI, the ₹40,000 crore component scheme and import substitution. Paytm is a payments and lending platform in the world's largest real-time payment system (UPI: 24 bn transactions a month, +22%) whose regulator-inflicted crisis has passed. Indegene is a life-sciences commercialisation outsourcer riding the same $350 bn patent cliff as our pharma names — and its AI exposure is a tailwind, not a threat.
We do not own TCS, HCL Tech or Wipro because if we are going to hold a small tactical position in a sector with a capped upside we want the cheapest large franchise with the cleanest AI narrative — Infosys. Dixon (2.6–3% margins, PLI 1.0 expired, ROCE falling) is volume without value; Syrma and Amber are priced higher than Kaynes on trailing earnings with lower margins. PB Fintech is priced at 90x+ for an insurance-distribution model; Eternal is a quick-commerce cash-burn story we hold only in the AIFs. Persistent and Sagility lack Indegene's domain moat.
