Stock Market Today: Tata Consultancy Services will declare Q3 results today. Here is what analysts expect from Q3FY25 earnings performance and their advice on whether to Buy sell or Hold the stock ahead or results?
Analysts Views
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is set to announce its Q3FY25 results today, and Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment and Securities anticipates year-on-year revenue growth between 5.2% and 6.4%, projecting the topline in the range of ₹63,710 crore to ₹64,500 crore. The EBIT margin is expected to expand by 110 basis points YoY and 40 basis points sequentially to 24.5%, driven by operational efficiencies.
The deal pipeline remains strong, with an estimated $9-10 billion in contract wins during the quarter. BFSI is likely to maintain its momentum, contributing significantly to growth. However, challenges in the UK/Europe and the manufacturing sector must be closely monitored for any potential impact on future performance.
These results will provide critical insights into the company’s ability to navigate macroeconomic uncertainties while sustaining growth, said Jain As an analyst, Jain believes TCS’s Q3 performance will be a key indicator of the IT sector’s resilience in the current environment.
Technical Levels to Watch
Advising a buy-on-dips strategy in TCS shares, Mahesh M Ojha, AVP—Research at Hensex Securities, said, “If the TCS share price dips, then one can buy the stock in the ₹4,060 to ₹4,085 apiece range, maintaining a stop loss at ₹3,980 per share. In the short term, TCS shares may bounce back and touch ₹4,160, ₹4,200, and ₹4,250
For its Q3 results, Sagar Shetty, Research Analyst, StoxBox expects the IT giant to remain largely muted on the revenue front, led by the impact of furlough. In addition, the BSNL deal’s revenue contribution is likely going to taper down, impacting revenues; however, the absence of a high impact of the BSNL deal in revenue also means improved EBIT margins. Margin growth would be further supported by operational efficiency, currency tailwinds, and the absence of a wage hike (the last was in Q1FY25). Management’s commentary on the deal pipeline (especially in the Mega-deal front) and demand environment would be key.
