TCS reported a subdued performance in Q1FY26, primarily impacted by the rampdown of the BSNL contract and cautious client spending across key verticals. Despite these headwinds, the company delivered margin resilience, with EBIT improving, driven by deferred wage hikes, lower third-party expenses, and favourable currency movements. A robust deal pipeline driven by demand for cost optimization, vendor consolidation, and AI-led transformation, underscores sustained client interest. We expect the launch of AI-led platforms, deeper domain...

We have revised our FY26E/FY27E EPS estimate by -1.7%/-3.6% respectively, led by lower revenue conversion on the back of reduced demand. We value TCS at 25.0x Jun’27 EPS (~10-year avg NTM P/E), implying a target price of INR 4,067.

1QFY26 was weaker than expected on both international and BSNL fronts. Even BFSI on a QoQ basis was impacted (Europe driven)

In Q1 FY26, TCS saw a 3.1% year-on-year drop in revenue in constant currency due to delays in discretionary spending caused by global economic and geopolitical issues. Operating margin was 24.5% (up 30bps; impact on utilization partially offset by 3rd party cost and currency). Despite short-term weakness, especially in banking and consumer sectors, TCS signed USD 9.4bn in deals TCV, up 13.2%YoY. Demand was strong in areas like Generative AI, cloud, and platform modernization. While North America and UK banking (Life & Pension) sector showed slight growth, delays in project ramp-ups and longer execution...

outlook, evident through weak Q1 deal TCV in BFS. We expect FY26 international growth largely to be flat CC, which translates to an ask-rate of ~0.6% CQGR, while we expect the BSNL add-on will support the growth in Q2/Q3 before it sees further ramp-down in Q4. On the margins, utilization and rationalizing employee pyramid are the major levers, however the low-margin add-on BSNL deal would continue to weigh on FY26 margins. We are adjusting our revenue estimates for the quarterly miss while keeping our margins broadly unchanged. We expect CC revenue to decline by 1.4% in FY26E followed by a...

With a strong deal pipeline across business verticals, new partnerships, and higher adoption for new-age technologies, we believe TCS will gradually begin recovery from H2FY26. Hence, we resume our coverage with a HOLD rating on the stock.

Reported revenue stood at $7,421 million, down 0.6% q-o-q/1.1% y-o-y, missing our estimate of $7,587 million. Revenue growth in constant currency (CC) terms stood at -3.3% q-o-q, chiefly led by ramp-down of BSNL deal.

Deal wins remain strong, above USD 10 bn for 2nd successive quarter The revenue growth in Q4 was disappointing, missing our estimates by 90bps QoQ, largely attributed to the ramp down in BSNL deal. Otherwise, the international business grew 0.6% QoQ, curtesy BFSI (+1.3% QoQ) and other key geographies that sequentially turned positive after a weak growth reported in Q3. The deal TCV at USD12.2bn (+20% QoQ), was impressive with no major change in the mix or nature of the deals. The management was confident of deriving growth in the international market on the back of strong bookings in...

Weak start for FY26 likely. Salary hike postponed due to uncertainty in the demand environment

TCS reported revenue of USD7.5b in 4QFY25, down 1.0% QoQ in USD terms vs. our estimated decline of 0.8%. FY25 revenue stood at USD30.2b, up 4.2% YoY in CC.

TCS Q4FY25 reported revneue stood at $7,465 million, down 1% q-o-q/up 1.4% y-o-y, missing our estimate of $7,501 million. Revenue growth in constant currency (CC) terms stood at 2.5% y-o-y. Revenue in rupee terms stood at Rs. 64,479 crore, up 0.8% q-o-q/5.3% y-o-y.

3QFY25 broadly in line. International growth weaker than expected. 4Q TCV must be a bumper one for FY25 to match FY24

Reported revenue growth stood at $7,539 million, down 1.7% q-o-q/up 3.5% y-o-y missing our estimates of $7,591 million. Revenue growth in constant currency (CC) terms stood at 4.5% y-o-y. Revenue in rupee terms stood at Rs. 63,973 crore, down 0.4% q-o-q/up 5.6% y-o-y. Seasonality and softness in discretionary demand led to the decline in revenues

TCS reported revenue of USD7.5b in 3QFY25, down 1.7% QoQ in USD terms vs. our estimated decline of 0.3%. Growth was driven by India (up 8.2% QoQ/66.3% YoY) and MEA (up 7.7% QoQ), while North America was down 1.5% QoQ.
