Currently, TCS is India’s second most valuable firm after Reliance Industries, which has a market cap of nearly Rs 12.9 trillion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The market capitalisation (m-cap) of TCS on Thursday topped the Rs 12-trillion-mark for the first time.<\/p>\n

Shares of the Tata group flagship closed at a record high of Rs 3,250.15, up 2.9 per cent, valuing the company at Rs 12.02 trillion.<\/p>\n

TCS is India’s second-most valuable firm after Reliance Industries (RIL), which has an m-cap of nearly Rs 12.9 trillion (including m-cap of partly-paid up shares).<\/p>\n

The IT services firm staged a solid comeback in Q2, and growth momentum continued in Q3 as the firm beat Street estimates on all key parameters such as revenue, margin and profits.<\/p>\n

Investors are cheering the stock after it signalled a return to the double-digit growth trajectory in the next financial year, on the back of a ramp-up in large contracts and a strong order pipeline.<\/p>\n

It had last achieved double-digit growth on a year-on-year (YoY) basis in June 2019.<\/p>\n

TCS’s 7.2 per cent YoY growth in net profit to Rs 8,701 crore came in Q3, which is seasonally weak for Indian IT companies.<\/p>\n

Growth in all key segments and geographies helped the company achieve the result.<\/p>\n

TCS said this was its best Q3 performance in nine years.<\/p>\n

Operating profit margins in the December quarter stood at 26.6 per cent — a rise of 160 per cent YoY, and were ahead of market expectations.<\/p>\n

Brokerages have revised the profitability estimate for TCS, on the back of the third quarter beat.<\/p>\n

CLSA increased its FY22 and FY23 earnings per share (EPS) estimates by 4 per cent and 2 per cent, respectively, and target price from Rs 3,070 to Rs 3,200, maintaining an ‘outperform’ rating.<\/p>\n

Emkay Global has raised its FY21, FY22 and FY23 earnings estimates by 2.8 per cent, 4 per cent and 4.6 per cent, respectively, factoring in the Q3 beat.<\/p>\n

“We believe TCS is poised to benefit from the acceleration in Cloud adoption and digital transformation opportunities, considering its end-to-end capabilities.<\/p>\n

“However, valuations are rich. Maintain ‘hold’, with a target price of Rs 3,150 (earlier Rs 3,000) at 26x FY23E earnings,” Emkay Global said in its review.<\/p>\n

Sentiment towards Indian IT stocks has improved, with the companies benefitting from a pick-up in demand, advancement of digital transformation by clients, as well as increased deal wins.<\/p>\n

Other brokerages have also raised their target prices.<\/p>\n

The average target price of 39 analysts, polled by Bloomberg, following the results announcement, now stands at Rs 3,320 per share.<\/p>\n

TCS and RIL have been playing cat-and-mouse for quite some time, in terms of claiming top spot for India’s most valuable company (see chart).<\/p>\n

However, between April and October 2020, RIL shares galloped after the company’s successful mega fund raising — the largest by any Indian corporate — wherein it sold stakes in its digital (Jio) and retail arms, and also issued shares through a rights issue (Rs 53,000 crore) to shareholders, aggregating over Rs 2 trillion.<\/p>\n

While the stake sales helped investors arrive at market-driven valuations for the firm’s consumer businesses, the uncertain growth environment due to the pandemic saw increased demand for stocks such as RIL, which are perceived to be safe havens.<\/p>\n

Since October, with reducing uncertainty over economic growth and earnings, RIL has underperformed the benchmarks, while TCS has gained on an improved business outlook.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the gap between the two has narrowed. TCS is now about Rs 85,800 crore behind RIL in market value.<\/p>\n
