The IT major reported 7.17 per cent on-year rise in the consolidated net profit to Rs 8,727 crore, as compared to Rs 7,504 crore in the July-September quarter.

AR Ramachandran, Co-founder & Trainer, Tips2Trade, told Financial Express Online that strong Q3FY21 results with guidance of double-digit growth in FY22 has led TCS and other IT stocks making new highs.

Ramachandran also said that technically, all the frontline IT stocks are overbought and hence any uptrend should be used to exit previous buy positions. Analysts at Motilal Oswal Financial Services believe that IT services have entered into a technology upcycle, led by cloud and data-driven deals coming onto the market. “Given TCS’ size, capabilities, and portfolio stretch, it is rightly positioned to leverage expected industry growth,” the report said. Those at Kotak Institutional Equities said that TCS’ approach to cloud refreshing and holistic where it is setting itself up for a multi-year opportunity rather than simply focusing on setting up a digital foundation.
