Q4 result of  TECHM (published on last Tuesday, after market hours) is way below market expectations & subsequently the stock hammered yesterday by around 15%, its biggest one day fall since Feb'2009. The poor earnings is caused mainly by cross currency headwinds, higher employee cost (salary hikes, Visa costs) & one of the key telecom client's tepid revenue along with under performance of some of its acquisitions such as LCC.

Q4 is indeed a difficult quarter for may IT services companies and TECHM is also proved to be a no exception. Market is expecting this type of difficult situation (Margin pressure) till next some quarters.

Looking ahead, performance of TECHM will largely depend on execution & margin recovery along with integration of various acquisitions. They are also looking for innovative "Start ups" in different locations (overseas) in order to identify early & nature for future profitable venture. Also worst of telecom sector may be behind , we may see some sequential growth in the revenue front in the coming days (nearly 50% of its revenue come from this telecom/communication sector). Slow down in advance economies including US/EU may also be at the last stage/already over. This, along with concept of "Digital India" may help all IT companies including TECHM in the days ahead. But, they have also to manage/hedge their cross currency positions (volatility) more efficiently.

Present median valuation of TECHM by BG metrics may be around 600 and projected valuation may be 655-720 (FY:16-17) under the current market conditions.
