IT与BPO服务:制定2021年12月价格目标(范文推荐)

 Establishing

 December

 2021

 Price

 Targets

 North America Equity Research 17

 August

 2020

 In

 this

 report,

 we

 are

 establishing

 Dec

 2021

 price

 targets

 in

 one

 of

 the

 most challenging

 valuation

 periods

 in

 the

 last

 two

 decades.

 The

 IT

 &

 BPO

 services stocks have underperformed the broader market (S&P 500) YTD, despite a lower earnings cut on average. We expect some level of mean reversion in 2H, and see the sector outperforming assuming macro continues to recover. Digital pure play names (GLOB, OW rated, and EPAM, OW rated by Alexei Gogolev) significantly outperformed peers and S&P 500 YTD, and are well positioned to be long-term secular

 winners,

 but

 we

 recommend

 G

 (OW

 rated)

 and

 VRTU

 (OW

 rated

 by Puneet Jain) as our top 2H20 picks offering healthy and defensive earnings growth as well as multiple expansion potential.  Digital

 firms

 separating

 from

 the

 rest?

 We’ve

 long

 believed

 growth

 and valuations

 between

 modern

 and

 legacy

 players

 would

 gradually

 diverge

 over time, but COVID-19 has accelerated the shift, resulting in Digital firms trading at

 high

 premiums

 vs.

 history

 (170%

 vs.

 100%

 pre-COVID-19).

 Premium multiples are likely here to stay as core modernization and digital migration is inevitable to satiate investors’ preference for deep secular growth, but recognize further multiple expansion is unlikely, so premium growth must persist.  Turn-around stocks offer high upside potential, but caution is warranted. Firms

 undergoing

 turnaround

 (CNDT,

 DXC,

 CTSH)

 showed nice

 progress

 in 2Q, and were rewarded with a bounce in still deeply discounted valuations. We expect

 demand

 trends

 to

 get

 more

 complicated

 in

 2H,

 and

 building

 a

 track record of predictable results will be key for this group to recover further.  Ranking growth in 2020-2022e. GLOB (OW) ranks the fastest growing name in our

 coverage, where we are forecasting 25% and 33% rev/EPS growth next year,

 with

 EPAM

 (OW)

 also

 being

 very

 close

 with

 24%

 revenue

 and

 31% earnings growth estimates. VRTU’s CY21 earnings growth is expected to be in the

 same

 ballpark

 (due

 to

 low

 margins

 this

 year)

 while

 its revenue

 growth

 of 12%

 is

 well

 below

 Digital

 pure

 play

 firms’.

 Bottom

 decile

 revenue

 growers include

 CNDT

 (N)

 and

 DXC

 (N),

 where

 we

 are

 forecasting

 low-single-digit revenue decline but 18% and 47% EPS growth, respectively.  Ranking upside/downside to new price targets. Names with the greatest upside to our targets include: VRTU/OW (27%), G/OW (24%). Names with the least upside to our targets include: ACN/OW (10%), DXC/N (12%) and EXLS/N (13%). We note

 our

 ratings

 and

 recommendations

 balance

 share

 price

 upside

 with

 risk

 in achieving those returns.  G and VRTU are our favorite Overweights. We like G for improved growth in its Global Clients, as it adds to a nice backlog of transformational deals, which seems underappreciated

 in

 its

 valuation

 multiple

 (18x

 CY21

 vs.

 22x

 for

 BPO

 peers). VRTU, by comparison, should benefit from its high earning power which could be realized with steady execution over the near term.

 YTD Look Back Year to date, 2020 has been a tough year for IT services and BPO names on an overall basis, as 7 out of 11 stocks underperformed the broader market. The group, as a whole, was about in line with S&P 500’s YTD returns of 4% on average. However, YTD returns exhibited sharp separation in Digital pure plays (GLOB and EPAM) which were are up 55% YTD vs. legacy firms (DXC, CNDT, IBM) which are down 29%, as COVID-19 likely accelerates the digital mix shift. Meanwhile, many legacy companies are going through significant turnarounds under new CEOs. However, over the last three months (or since C1Q results), IT Services and BPO stocks are up a solid 40% (vs. S&P 500 up 18%), as COVID-19-driven demand headwinds proved to be easier than feared. As such, turnaround companies (such as DXC, CNDT, CTSH), significantly rebounded from deep-value trading levels, and are up 60% on an average, outperforming Digital pure plays that are up 45% during the period. BPO stocks were also up 40% over the last three months, as COVID-19- driven demand headwinds proved to be easier than feared. ACN has also yielded healthy, but steadily positive, returns this year as it benefits from Digital mix shift. IBM was the only IT services/BPO stock that underperformed the broader index over the last three months. Figure 1 and Figure 2, below, show individual stock performance and IT services sector performance relative to other S&P 500 categories.

 Actual vs. Estimated Forward Operating Metrics Down Table 1 below shows CY20 and CY21 consensus revenue estimate revisions for our IT&BPO coverage universe since February 2020.

 Revenue estimates are down for all stocks (even for CY21), and revisions are more severe than historically, expectedly due to adverse impact from COVID-19. Among individual stocks, the magnitude of change was lowest for firms with high level of recurring revenue (such as IBM and DXC) or where expectations going into the COVID-19 headwinds were already too low (e.g. at CTSH and VRTU). BPO estimates were expectedly revised down the most, and thereby offer the most upside potential. GLOB’s new estimates include benefit from gA acquisition, and hence revision may not be meaningful.

 Relative to S&P 500, revisions are about even, with 6/11 companies experiencing lower revenue revisions to CY21 estimates than S&P’s (-6%), with CNDT’s revisions 460bps better than S&P’s, while WNS’s were 740bps worse off.
