Much of its work is engineering heavy, which tends to be sticky because clients rely on it for long running product roadmaps.<\/p>\n<p>The company has expanded its mix of cloud, data and artificial intelligence projects over the last few years. Larger deals and a growing client base help revenue visibility, although quarterly numbers can still move with client budgets and currency.<\/p>\n<p>Followers of the <strong>Persistent Systems share price<\/strong> usually track deal wins, margin trends, hiring and attrition, and the share of revenue from large clients, because these decide how steadily the business can keep growing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Established_Players_Stack_Up\"><\/span><strong>How the Established Players Stack Up<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Coforge is a Noida-based IT services firm with strength in travel, banking and insurance clients, and it has grown through large multi-year deals.

First, the strength of the deal pipeline. Second, operating margins as hiring picks up. Third, how global technology budgets behave through the coming quarters.<\/p>\n<p>At a P\/E of 55, expectations are high.
