Some of Infosys recent deal wins, like Telstra and British Petroleum, give the IT major new larger 'mineable' clients, which are expected to help the company in maintaining its sector-leading growth rate, financial service provider IIFL said in a recent report.
During the economic slowdown, Infosys had registered a faster growth than its peers, Tata Consultancy Services and HCL, despite aggressive ramp-downs from its largest client.
Infosys, it said, has the highest exposure to clients from the US and, hence, is least vulnerable to a sharp depreciation in European currencies.
Moreover, the recovery in IT spending from US clients has been decidedly faster than that from European clients. "The faster recovery in the US, coupled with Infosys' relatively high exposure to that geography, makes it well-placed to register sector-leading revenue growth," it said.
Over the last four quarters, revenues from the US are up 16.5 per cent as compared to a decline of 13-14 per cent from Europe.
The company's Earnings Per Share (EPS) is also likely to register a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 23 per cent over FY 10-13 against the 18-20 per cent of those of its competitors, the report said.
The SWOT analysis of Infosys mentioned in the report, revealed that the company has the highest standards of corporate governance and its ability to cross-sell its service offerings is the best among domestic companies.
However, inflexibility on price and lesser diversification remained the weaknesses of the company, it noted.
Infosys derives 75 per cent of its revenues from the US and the UK. However, the company is making investments in continental Europe and emerging markets, including India to tap better opportunities, it said.
The growing presence of multi-national companies replicating the offshore model with greater success and competition for talent from other industries are some of the threats, the report pointed out.
