Weak rupee could pave the way for a long-awaited IT recovery

Live Mint  

The Indian information technology sector has been trying to make a meaningful comeback for a while. From a macro perspective, a sinking rupee spells trouble, mainly for importers, but India’s IT firms are exporters of services and a large part of their revenue is denominated in these currencies. Pole position LTIMindtree Ltd, Wipro Ltd, Sagility India Ltd and Coforge Ltd are best placed to benefit from this, given their higher exposure to the dollar, euro and pound, and higher offshore employee mix, said Jefferies India in a report on 18 February. While a strong recovery of discretionary demand may take a few quarters, it is unlikely to worsen further, in our view," said a Nomura Global Markets Research report on 19 February. However, uncertainty around the quantum and frequency of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve and potential tariff wars could hurt near-term sentiment and delay revenue recovery for IT companies, so valuations need to be more reasonable.
