Motilal Oswal projects a 19% USD revenue CAGR over FY24-27E for Persistent Systems, which, combined with margin expansion, could result in a ~21%+ EPS CAGR. This places Persistent Systems in a league of its own as a diversified product engineering and IT services player, justifying a premium valuation multiple.
