Today’s top research idea
Infosys: Steadfast peace with the arrival of Mr. Nandan Nilekani
v
INFO saw several Board changes and the return of Mr Nandan Nilekani,
thereby capping the risk of continued external noise, and thereby, further
downside in the stock.
v
However, the company’s fate now lies in decisions around the new CEO,
which, along with the reconstitution of the Board, have become a priority.
Although the initial steps have been rapid, the risk of business disruption
continues to loom, the communication of which would be a crucial factor in
determining the sustenance of the recent run-up in the stock.
v
We expect further re-rating in the stock to be a function of [1] search process
and focus on business growth and [2] at least comparable performance to
those setting the industry pace.
