Growth Lags, Margins Pe Pressure Hai Bhai!
TCS ka share Friday, April 10, 2026 ko 3% toot gaya, lagbhag ₹4,250 ke level par aa gaya. Pichle quarter ke results mein sabse badi chinta ye rahi ki poore fiscal year ke liye constant currency mein revenue 2.4% gir gaya hai. Yeh numbers Infosys aur Wipro jaise competitors se kaafi peeche hain, jinhone positive growth dikhaya hai.
Profitability par bhi sawaal uth rahe hain. Agarche Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) margins 10 basis points badhe hain, lekin isme 110 basis points ka currency ka faayda tha. Matlab, andar ki operational profitability par pressure hai, jisme strategic reinvestments (jaise cloud migration) aur wage adjustments ka bhi role hai. FY27 ke liye projection hai ki margin 20 basis points tak hi badhega, matlab pressure abhi bhi rahega.
Stock mein yeh drop acchi volume par hua, lagbhag 50 lakh shares trade hue, jo dikhata hai ki investors active hain.
Market Share Kho Raha Hai TCS?
CLSA ne kaha hai ki TCS apne domestic IT rivals se market share kho raha hai, aur haal filhaal numbers ya order books mein iska koi sudhaar nahi dikh raha. FY26 mein market share loss lagbhag 1% raha hai, jo ek badi chinta ki baat hai. AI-driven revenues ab total revenue ka 7.5% ho gaye hain, par yeh overall slowdown ko cover nahi kar paa rahe.
Valuations dekhne mein toh achhe lag rahe hain, par growth ki chinta ke karan log in par phir se विचार kar rahe hain. TCS ka forward earnings multiple lagbhag 15.2 times hai, jo competitors ke comparison mein discount par hai. Kotak Institutional Equities ka kehna hai ki TCS, HCL Technologies (jo 22x forward P/E par hai) se 18.4% aur Infosys (jo 26x forward P/E par hai) se 3.6% discount par trade kar raha hai. Poora Indian IT sector global economic uncertainties ke beech lagbhag 28x forward P/E par hai.
Shayad TCS ko sector-leading growth na chahiye ho perform karne ke liye, par competitors ke saath growth gap kam karna investors ka confidence jeetne ke liye zaroori hai. Pichhle saal April 2025 mein bhi results ke baad stock 2% gira tha jab slow growth dikhi thi.
Analysts Kya Bol Rahe Hain?
Analysts abhi bhi thode positive hain, 51 mein se 72% analysts 'Buy' recommend kar rahe hain aur average price target ₹4,500 diya hai, matlab potential upside hai. Lekin kuch analysts growth concerns aur competition ke karan price targets kam kar rahe hain. Sabka kehna hai ki TCS ko agar achha return dena hai toh competitors ke saath growth gap kam karna bahut zaroori hai.
