Nirmal Bang Report

Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. delivered 4% QoQ constant currency revenue growth (our estimate: 4.5%) and Ebit margin of 25.6% (60 basis points below estimate) in Q2 FY22.

Profit after tax was supported by a higher-than-expected forex gain.

Significantly higher-than-expected cross currency headwind led to 2.9% QoQ growth in U.S. dollar terms.

Talent costs, cross currency impact and investments seem to have eaten into the anticipated margin increase.

Total contract was optically down ~12% YoY but was up 25% adjusted for one mega deal.

With mega deals largely missing for the industry in the last two to three quarters, this situation could play out for Infosys too after a great FY21 on lumpy deals like Daimler and Vanguard.

Despite Q2 FY22 miss and a likely muted H2 FY22, TCS will deliver close to mid-teens growth in FY22, post which we think growth could slow to very low double-digit in FY22-FY24.
