IT stocks have corrected sharply over the past couple of months led by an appreciating INR and portfolio shifts. We strongly recommend buying into IT companies at this juncture due to: (i) limited impact of INR appreciation (1.5-3.0%), which can be offset by robust domestic demand and a few concrete initiatives by the new government (restoration of STPI status, uniform taxes and improved relations with the US); (ii) lower multiples, almost close to historic lows of post Lehman crisis (refer table 2 and 3), in an improving demand environment; and (iii) huge cash balances that can be returned to shareholders via dividends or buy back, thereby improving RoE.
