TCS Q3 Results Review - Mixed Bag; Better CY25 Outlook But Lacks Punch; 'Reduce' Says Dolat Capital

Following the seasonal dip in Q3, a moderate recovery is anticipated in Q4, resulting in 1.4% QoQ growth in CC terms, including tapering off from BSNL deal, adds Dolat Capital.

TCS’ largest verticals – BFSI and retail and consumer packaged good, declined 2.7% and 0.4% respectively ($ terms), with decline attributed to seasonality.

TCS' revenue grew 0.2% QoQ and 4.5% YoY in CC terms. In USD terms, it declined 1.7% QoQ and was up 3.5% YoY. Weak revenue was primarily due to seasonal furloughs.

Dolat Capital Report

Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. reported constant currency revenue growth of 0.2% QoQ, (below our estimate of 0.8%), which reflected the impact of seasonal furloughs and an unchanged macro environment.

Due to improving utilisation and operational efficiency, operating profit margin was up by 41 bps QoQ at 24.5% (our estimate: 24.1%). Management expects CY25 to be better than CY24, however client budgeting to remain flat with a positive bias, suggesting moderate growth recovery.

We largely retain our FY25E/FY26E/FY27E earnings estimates, noting weak revenue growth. Maintain ‘Reduce’ rating with target price of Rs 4,270 at 26 times on FY27E (implies ~3x PEG).
