Previous outlook
Q3FY24: NEWGEN reported a better than estimated revenue and PAT in Q3FY24 driven by sustained business momentum and
traction in trade finance and the digital lending platform in key traditional markets (especially India). The growth momentum
will sustain given its strong deal bookings and pipeline, reinvestments in sales and marketing, product launches, and progress in
establishing a GSI ecosystem. We revise our FY24/FY25 revenue growth estimate by 2%/5% and EPS estimate by 5%/17%. We
expect a 25%/33% revenue/PAT CAGR over FY23–26. We maintain ‘BUY’ with a revised TP of INR1,000 (using target P/E
multiple of 33x, i.e., a PEG of ~1x).
Q2FY24: A sustained business momentum and traction in the Digital lending platform resulted in a better than estimated
revenue and PAT in Q2FY24. The growth momentum will sustain given its: i) strong deal bookings (up ~40% YoY) and pipeline,
ii) re-investments in sales and marketing, iii) product launches, and iv) an established GSI ecosystem. We raise our FY24/ FY25
revenue growth estimate by 3%/4%, and the EPS estimates by 5%/6%. We expect a 23%/26% revenue/PAT CAGR over FY23–25.
We maintain ‘BUY’ with a revised TP of INR1,200 (using a target P/E multiple of 27x, i.e., a PEG of ~1x).
