KPIT technology My Opinion
KPIT technology is a IT Company. It has transformed itself into niche player in IT field. It is now concentrating on Automation of Automobiles. The infotainment and autonomous driving are the key fields. It creates powertrain software for next generation of vehicles. The Company also has potential to help Clients with transition to electric vehicles.
I like companies with niche focus. That helps them excel and gain market share on focused niche. Auto sector is going through transition and is one of the important sectors. IT is slowly becoming important for Auto sector as well. With customers demanding connected cars and other digital applications are forcing Auto Companies to leverage IT Companies for better product creation.
The problem is KPIT will suffer if there is slow down in Auto sector. It will also get impacted if any of the Client chooses different service provider. This is the risk associated with IT service provider Companies. More over there are Indian IT companies which are operating same niche as KPIT. That will also impact the Company in growth.
I am already invested in IT sector and as of now not willing to increase my exposure to the sector. My own Company operates in the niche KPIT operates in. So I will not be tracking or investing in this Company.
In case you are interested then you can track the company by adding it to your stock watch list. That way you can keep close eye on the Company.
