Outlook & valuation

Newgen Software posted steady earnings growth for the quarter ended Q1FY25. The company is keenly focusing on the innovation of its products which will contribute to more accurate and deep analysis of data. It has launched the Newgen ONE platform which is backed with a cloud-native, AI-based platform which facilitates better real-time extraction of data. Overall growth in customer base and diversity in revenue model will help the company to grow faster and more efficiently. With growing use and dependence on data in sectors like banking & financial services, insurance, etc, the company’s growth trajectory looks promising. We expect traction in the traditional market to continue. We believe that the growth momentum is likely to sustain given its strong deal bookings and pipeline, reinvestments in sales and marketing, product launches, traction in Gen AI, healthy annuity growth, partnership with insurance platform companies, and progress in establishing a GSI ecosystem. At a CMP of Rs.1004, the stock is trading at 35x FY26E. We maintain a HOLD rating on the stock.
