TCS Q1 expectations


TCS is expected to report an 8% year-on-year jump in its net profit for the quarter ended June 2024, according to average estimates of four brokerages.

The revenue is expected to go up to 62,234 crore in the reported quarter, which will be a growth of 4.8% over the corresponding quarter of the last financial year.

The gains will be driven by the ramp-up of strong order signings in the earlier quarters along with traction in BFSI and retail segments.

While Prabhudas Lilladher's estimates on profit after tax (PAT) is highest among the brokerages, ICICI Securities' revenue estimates top the chart among several analysts. PL pegs the net profit of the IT giant at Rs 12,310 crore, while ICICI Sec's rupee revenue stands at Rs 62,491 crore.

Kotak Equities, on the other hand, is pricing in a near 5% year-on-year jump in net sales of Rs 62,229 crore and this translates to 1.6% sequential growth.

The revenue growth would be driven by the ramp-up of strong order signings in the earlier quarters, the brokerage said as it expects weak revenues from financial services and telecom verticals.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortisation) for the reporting quarter is likely to be around Rs 16,572 crore, showing an increase of 10% year-on-year and 3% quarter-on-quarter.

Kotak forecasts a 140 bps quarter-on-quarter decline in EBIT margins due to wage revision and likely a decline in utilisation rates while a 140 bps yoy increase in EBIT margins.
