Analysts said management expects FY27 revenue growth above peers and a pickup from next quarter, but remain divided over the stock's prospects citing rich valuations. JP Morgan said the stock is at 25 times estimated price to earnings (PE) ratio, which is at a premium to peers and 'bakes in' the margin improvement.
