WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS) is one of the Best Indian Stocks to Buy for Next 5 Years. Deutsche Bank analyst Nate Svensson resumed coverage of the company’s stock with a “Hold” rating and a price objective of $76.50, as reported by The Fly. Notably, the firm resumed coverage on 25 stocks in the broader payments processors and IT services industry. As per the analyst, both industries have significantly underperformed the S&P 500 Index on a YTD basis as investor expectations increased around the November election, resulting in an end-of-year run-up, which has since proven overly optimistic.

In the current uncertain environment, Deutsche favors the high-quality compounders possessing consistent sales growth, margin expansion, and FCF generation. WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS)’s profit in Q4 2025 came in at $50.8 million compared to $14.5 million in Q4 2024 and $48.6 million in the prior quarter. On a YoY basis, the profit growth was because of $30.9 million goodwill impairment charge in Q4 2024, $12.2 million from a facility asset sale in India in Q4 2025, reductions in ADS transition costs, as well as favorable currency movements.

However, such benefits were partially offset by increased acquisition-related expenses, higher investments, and an elevated effective tax rate. Apart from the facility asset sale, WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS)’s sequential growth in Q4 2025 profit stemmed from increased volumes, operating margin expansion, and favorable currency movements. Diamond Hill Capital, an investment management company, released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:
