Citi
Research firm Citi has kept sell call on the stock with a target at Rs 3,580 as Q3 earnings were largely in-line.
The deal TCV of USD 7.6 billion is largely in-line with prior 4-quarter average.
For FY22-24 the EPS estimates changed by 0-1%. It find consensus margin assumption of 26% for FY23 high, while buyback may support in near-term.
Goldman Sachs
Broking house has reiterated buy call on the stock with a target at Rs 4,747 buy as company has the lowest attrition in the industry.
It has the best capability to fulfil & capture growth potential as they see robust demand to continue in CY22 as well.
Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley has kept overweight call on the stock with a target at Rs 4,400 as company surprised on revenue growth after a gap of 2 quarters.
The Q3 revenue performance better than higher end of street expectations. The management commentary supported expectations of strong growth in CY22, while margin has disappointed, but is not a concern.
UBS
UBS has kept neutral call on the stock with a target at Rs 4,180.
The revenue was a beat, but margin miss offsets any earnings upsides.
Motial Oswal
Given TCS’ size, capabilities, and portfolio stretch, it is rightly positioned to leverage the anticipated industry growth.
TCS has consistently maintained its market leadership position and shown best-in-class execution. This renders the company with ample room to maintain its industry-leading margin and demonstrate the superior return ratios.
We maintain our positive stance on TCS, given its strong growth outlook. Our target price of Rs 4,250 implies 30x FY24E EPS, with a 10% upside potential. Maintain Buy.
Prabhudas Lilladher
We believe TCS can easily sustain ~26% EBIT margin in FY23 despite return of discretionary expenses and supply side cost pressures. As supply side pressures ease off in FY23, there is scope for margin expansion led by reducing sub-contracting costs, improved pricing, pyramid optimization, best-in-class supply side engine and leverage from revenue growth.
We increase our EPS estimates by ~1.6%/2.0% for FY23/24 led by marginal increase in revenue growth and EBIT margin. We project revenue growth of 16.3%/14%/11.4% in $ terms for FY22/23/24E respectively. We arrive at a DCF based Target Price of Rs 4,468 (implied earnings target multiple of 32x on FY24 EPS).
