    Q1FY18 performance was better on revenue front, driven by strong volume growth of 3.5% qoq. The growth in focus geographies was encouraging across verticals with a cautiously optimistic approach towards Insurance and Retail.
    TCS is gaining significantly on competencies across Digital service offerings, leading to a sustained deal win traction, improved deal win ratios, and gain in deal sizes & complexity. Digital grew 7.6% qoq in CC terms and accounted for over 50% of incremental revenues.
    Focus shifted to profitability given the declining operating leverage, appreciating INR and compulsive commitments towards onsite hiring, digital skill training and sales with contextual expertise.
    We cut our FY18/19E EPS by 3%/4% to factor in lower profitability in our estimates. We continue to prefer players with growth acceleration such as Mphasis, Mindtree and L&T Infotech.
