Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares were in focus on October 10 after the IT major reported a modest 1.4% year-on-year (YoY) rise in net profit for the September quarter. The stock slipped nearly 1% in early trade as investors reacted to the company’s performance and restructuring costs.<\/p>\n

TCS reported a net profit of \u20b912,075 crore for Q2 FY25. The company\u2019s revenue stood at $7,466 million in constant currency terms, marking a 0.8% sequential increase, though down 3.3% YoY, reflecting muted global demand in the technology sector.<\/p>\n

Restructuring Costs and Layoffs Impact Performance<\/h2>\n

The company\u2019s quarterly numbers were in line with Street expectations, but the earnings were affected by a \u20b91,135 crore restructuring charge. This expense is believed to be linked to ongoing layoffs that impacted more than 12,000 employees.<\/p>\n

Despite these challenges, TCS reported a total contract value (TCV) of $10 billion during the quarter. A major highlight was a $640-million deal with Scandinavian insurer Tryg, which boosted deal momentum.<\/p>\n

Broad-Based Growth Across Key Sectors<\/h2>\n

TCS reported broad-based growth in constant currency (CC) terms. The Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) segment grew 1.1%, while the Technology and Services vertical rose 1.8% sequentially. These segments continue to be major revenue contributors for the IT giant.<\/p>\n

TCS Bets Big on Artificial Intelligence and Data Centres<\/h2>\n

In a major strategic move, TCS announced plans to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in India to establish AI and Sovereign Data Centres. These centres will provide infrastructure and technology-enabled services and mark TCS\u2019s entry into the fast-evolving AI infrastructure ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to strengthen TCS\u2019s position in the global digital transformation and AI solutions market, which continues to see growing enterprise adoption.<\/p>\n

Margins and Market View<\/h3>\n

According to Nomura, TCS\u2019s EBIT margin improved by 70 basis points (bps) quarter-on-quarter, aided by an 80 bps tailwind from currency movements. The headwinds from salary hikes were largely offset by operational efficiencies and automation benefits.<\/p>\n

Brokerage firm Nuvama Institutional Equities noted that TCS shares have corrected nearly 25% year-to-date, now trading at a valuation of 20x FY27 estimated earnings, which is in line with its historical average.<\/p>\n

Nuvama maintained a \u2018Buy\u2019 rating on the stock but revised its target price down to \u20b93,650 from \u20b93,950, citing near-term volatility but strong long-term growth prospects.<\/p>\n

Investor Outlook<\/h3>\n

Despite the muted quarterly profit growth, analysts believe that TCS\u2019s long-term fundamentals remain intact, supported by its robust deal pipeline and strategic AI investments. The company\u2019s new AI and data centre initiative is seen as a forward-looking step toward capturing the next wave of digital transformation opportunities.<\/p>\n

However, in the near term, investors may continue to see volatility in the stock, given the macroeconomic headwinds and restructuring costs.<\/p>\n
