IT Sector - OVERWEIGHT relative to markets
An interesting recent report from ABN Amro.
We expect muted volume growth in 4Q 08 even as the sharp INR fall
helps margins. Looking forward, even a conservative 16-17% FY09
EPS growth guidance from Infosys should allay concerns about the
'worst-case' demand outlook and revive interest in the sector.
