Plain English
To justify today's price of $1285.20, HCLTECH.NS needs to grow its free cash flow at 5.9% per year for the next 10 years. That is 2.9% faster than its historical growth rate of 3.0%. This looks achievable — the market is not pricing in heroic assumptions. There may be genuine upside if the company executes.
