According to ICRA’s estimates, the overall securitisation volumes, originated mainly by financial institutions, stood at ~Rs. 45,000 crore in Q1 FY2025, which reflects a reduction of ~20% over Q1 FY2024, largely due to the exit of a large housing finance company (HFC) in Q2 FY2024. Excluding the HFC, the securitisation volumes remained largely flat on a YoY basis. The non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and the HFCs continue to utilise securitisation as a funding tool to raise liquidity as well as to diversify their funding avenues and grow their investor base. ICRA projects securitisation volumes to pick up in the subsequent quarters and cross Rs. 2 trillion for FY2025.

We believe 1QFY25 will mark the bottom of sluggish revenue growth for the Indian IT

services sector.

Recall that we turned negative on the sector in May 2022, due to an uncertain

macroeconomic environment and a worsening revenue growth outlook for

enterprises, which are weighing on discretionary demand.

○

•

Interest rate cut cycle (likely in 2H CY24) and a potential thaw in decision-making by

US corporates post US elections in Nov 2024 could provide a fillip to demand, in our

view. GenAI adoption is likely to gain steam in the next 12-18 months and could

improve demand for cloud services and data standardisation. Overall, we expect

revenue growth for large caps to increase from ~3% in FY25F to ~7.7% in FY26F.

•

We turn bullish on the sector, and upgrade our ratings to Buy for Wipro (WPRO IN)

(from Reduce), Infosys (INFO IN)(from Neutral) and HCLT (HCLT IN)(from Neutral).

We also upgrade TCS to Neutral (TCS IN)(from Reduce). Our top picks in the sector

are Infosys, Wipro and TechM (TECHM IN, Buy) among large caps, and Coforge

(COFORGE IN) and Birlasoft (BSOFT IN) among midcaps.

After strong order inflows in FY24, we expect some moderation in 1QFY25, particularly for companies focussed on government capex, due to general elections during the quarter. However, companies continue to benefit from a strong enquiry pipeline, especially in transmission, data center, EV, railways, semiconductor, electronics and hydrogen.

- Companies linked to domestic private capex are still awaiting finalization of large orders. Demand remained strong for all powergen players in 1QFY25. We believe that strong order books should provide healthy revenue visibility for companies.

- Higher commodity prices and labor shortage can hurt margins which can get support from improved pricing, cost-saving measures and improved product mix. For 1QFY25, we estimate our coverage companies to report revenue/EBITDA/PAT growth of 12%/21%/24% YoY.

Consumer durables sector experienced healthy demand during 1QFY25 led by RAC/ coolers/ fans with the severe summer driving secondary as well as primary sales. Within the RAC segment, brands have increased prices by 2-3% and also benefited from the low inventory levels in channels, particularly favouring Voltas and Lloyd, according to our channel checks. Fan companies have also increased prices by ~5% in the last couple of months. In Q1FY25, the W&C segment continued to outperform, driven by strong cable demand. However, the wire segment saw slower growth due to a high base, higher copper and aluminium prices, and increased realisations. We expect our consumer durables universe to register sales/ EBITDA/ PAT growth of 14.5%/21.0%/20.6% YoY in 1QFY25. Furthermore, we anticipate Polycab, Havells and Voltas to outperform, while Bajaj Electricals may underperform in sales. In terms of profitability, Havells and Voltas are expected to outperform.
