Motilal Oswal has suggested buying the stock of IT firm, Tech Mahindra. According to the brokerage firm Tech Mahindra remains the most inexpensive of the top-tier IT, with valuations of 12.7x FY18 earnings and 10.8x FY19 earnings.

"However, earnings are expected to decline 4.6 per cent in FY18 after a 9 per cent fall in FY17. This decline models a pick-up in business momentum from 2QFY18,
failing which, the picture would appear worse. There is little in the form of potential triggers given the current state, and the reversal is subject to improvement in the business health from 2QFY18. We had cited our expectation of a gradual margin recovery post 1Q, and revenue to follow similar trend. Our price target of Rs 465 discounts FY19 estimated earnings by 13 times, implying 20% upside," the firm has said in its research report.
