Another acquisition. This group seems to be on treadmill. On a lighter note I think Mr Arun Kr. should start a boutique investment firm or pvt. equity. As an investor I am not complaining yet.

I was not comparing infy Tcs with 8K. I was just referring while infy hcl tech infy are available at reasonable valuation how 8K enjoys such lofty valuation as normally market gives sustained 65 PE to very high quality company like nestle HUL etc.

Another point to note is 8k miles has grown out of single product dependency which is Amazon cloud. Now they are also into Microsoft cloud. So we don't have risk like RS Software.
Still wonder why these guys are not getting to Oracle cloud which is a huge market.

We cannot compare TCS / Infy with 8k miles as 8k miles is boutique / niche firm which focuses only on cloud related services. Companies are currently rapidly moving to cloud as it reduces risk as well as head counts for them. So it terms of growth, we cannot compare TCS like giants valuations (which has 100 of offerings and cloud is just one of them) with 8k miles as 8k miles offers only cloud products and services that can go through re-ratings with just few big client additions.
Agree with you on the margin of safety. Usually big firms will be hesitant to work with small IT firms as it will put them as risk. So they will go with companies like persistent, Infy etc. So whether 8k can get into a big league with considerable Fortune 1000/500 companies will determine whether it deserves rich valuations.
Disc: Have small tracking position. Wait and watch mode.

I doubt whether they can maintain same growth pace in future. Dotcom boom & burst showed that nothing can grow in such absurd pace for long. Before investing you must think of margin of safety. Is there any margin of safety in 8K today if you go wrong. beware of such script as it may be a suckers rally or an operator driven. In market never chase very high growth rate company at an very expensive valuation while its better knows peers like TCS infy are trading in modest PE as U will never know when the growth will stop.

@ Varun-POINT TAKEN
@satishrajan- The management in their latest concall clearly stated that the cash on books will
be used for acquisitions/inorganic growth. This to my view is a positive.
