Today’s top research idea

TCS: Kick-starts the year on a strong footing

  • Recovery in BFSI (3.7% QoQ CC) drove both revenues (4.1% QoQ CC v/s estimate of 3.3%) and margin (25% EBIT v/s estimate of 24.7%) outperformance for TCS in 1QFY19. With strong visibility over the near-to-medium term, TCS remains on track to inch up towards double digit revenue growth (9.1% YoY CC in 1Q) and also towards its aspired minimum margin 26%. This drove 1.7-2.4% upgrade in our earnings estimates for FY19 and FY20.
  • For the first time, TCS disclosed its deals TCV, a number that will hereon be shared every quarter - a welcome disclosure. For 1QFY19, the TCV of USD4.9b implied book-to-bill of slightly less than 1; and this will be closely tracked going forward. For double digit growth to sustain, TCS will need mega deals to keep coming, in our view.
  • As a result, we are building lower growth in FY20, and remain Neutral at valuations of 20x FY20E earnings.
