Downside: 0.3%

KPIT Technologies reported an in-line 1Q. Revenue / EBITDA were

+3%/-4% vs GSe and were +9%/-11% yoy. Constant currency

revenue declined was -3.6% qoq. Going forward, management

expects to see a similar quarter in 2Q, but expects a good exit to the

year in 4Q (and a better 2H vs 1H) based on current visibility in the

pipeline. The order wins of US$257mn imply a book to bill ratio of

1.45x. KPIT is focused on offsetting the current soft demand

situation in its core European / Japanese customer cohort by 1)

Adding a broader range of PV OEMs (vs historical focus on Top 25

customer); (2) Deepening the off high way and commercial customer

base; (3) Increasing focus on product + solutions integration for

customers. Management expects ongoing efforts in AI led

productivity improvement and an increasing fixed cost pricing

model to support gradual build back in margin. We raise our

FY27-FY29 EPS by upto +1%. Our 12-m TP of Rs637 is unchanged.
