TCS, which alone constitutes 40 percent of the sector’s PAT, will derive 60 percent of incremental profits in 1QFY19, according to analyst estimates
TCS created history on Friday as it touched a fresh record high above Rs 1,900 per share, supported by expectations of strong growth in the June quarter and depreciation in the rupee against the dollar.
The IT bellwether hit a fresh record high of Rs 1,916.15 per share on the BSE. The stock has been in an uptrend in 2018, up over 40 percent in the first six months. Indian largest software exporter holds the tag of India’s most valued company with a market capitalisation of Rs 7.2 lakh crore, followed by Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, ITC, and HDFC.
TCS reported a 5.7 percent sequential rise in net profit in its fourth quarter to Rs 6,904 crore, beating analyst expectations in the March quarter. Revenue for the quarter rose 3.8 percent sequentially to Rs 32,075 crore for the quarter-ended March 31.
Brokerages expect over 3 percent sequential growth for the June quarter, above peers such as Infosys and HCL Technologies.
Jefferies said TCS may report a 3.8 percent quarter-on-quarter constant currency growth in Q1. It added that Wipro and Tech Mahindra may lag with just 1-1.2 percent decline and Infosys and HCL Technologies in between. “The cross-currency impact should drag reported QoQ dollar growth by another 90-150 bps. The weakness in margin on wage hike and visa costs should be offset by depreciation in the rupee.”
TCS, which alone constitutes to 40 percent of the sector’s profit after tax, will derive 60 percent of incremental profits in Q1 FY19, it estimated. “Bottoming cyclical pressures and improved capital allocation are factors that will feed into valuation multiples favourably, whereas currency keeps earnings growth ticking further.”
Motilal Oswal said in a recent report that barring banking and financial services and retail, all segments for TCS were growing in healthy single or double-digits, on the back of revival in retail and a slew of large deal announcements “We expect 3.3% QoQ CC growth in Q1. This signifies an acceleration compared to the 2 percent QoQ CC growth witnessed in Q4 FY18.”
