Marginal beat on estimates, retain HOLD
· Rev(ex H/W) at US$ 265 mn(+5.4% QoQ) beat exp marginally. Mgns (ex H/W) at 21.5%, were up by ~280 bps QoQ driven by favorable currency, higher utilization & lower employee count
· Top client rev were flat in constant currency terms at ~GBP 75 mn while revenues(ex BT, SI ) were up by 8.5% sequentially to US$ 150 mn
· Tweak FY11/12E conso EPS up by ~2.8%/0.3% to Rs 69.6/77.5 despite higher rev est. driven by higher currency reset helped by lower FY12 tax assumptions at 21%(V/s 23% earlier)
· Maintain HOLD with a revised TP of Rs 810 (based on 11.5x 1 yr fwd P/E). See near term upsides driven by possibility of a favorable merger ratio( for TechM) with Mah Satyam

In line quarter, Disappointing Guidance for Q4CY10
· Rev at US$ 178.8 mn, marginally ahead of est. Mgns at 18.9%, were down by ~130 bps QoQ impacted by strong hiring (net adds of 1,663, +11% QoQ), impact of consolidation of CHCS
· Profits at Rs 1.3 bn ahead of est. driven by higher than expected forex gains. See margin pangs continuing driven by supply side pressures( attrition at near peak levels)
· Despite strong hiring, co's Dec'10 rev guidance is muted. Patni's rev growth continues to be anemic with strong margin defence until now getting threatened as expected by us
· Tweak CY11E EPS down by ~5.7% to Rs 35.3 driven primarily by lower margin assumptions (partly on a/c of higher currency reset). At Rs 465, Patni trades at 13.1x/11.7x CY11E/12E EPS
