TCS - Primed for Another Top Year

After a hugely successful year for the company and the stock, we think the pieces are in place for the good run to continue, and we keep TCS as our top pick heading into 2018. We see regulation as the main risk to the story in the coming months but think the regulator will tread carefully in its PTI initiative. The management's bullish 2018 guidance looks highly feasible, in our view, and we forecast an 18% 2018E-20E EPS CAGR. With ROE likely to top 50% in 2018-19, TCS should be able to maintain its 50% payout ratio with possible special dividends on top. We keep our BUY recommendation on the stock and raise our target price to $24 per GDR.
