Prabhudas Lilladher: Buy
Target price: Rs 4,468
Research firm Prabhudas Lilladher has given a buy rating to TCS. Analysts believe that in the current circumstances, where supply growth is more important than demand, TCS’s lower attrition as compared to Pierce is an advantage for the company. According to Prabhudas Lilladher, TCS can easily maintain an EBIT margin of 26 per cent in FY2023 despite pressure on supply side costs and return on expenses. Due to supply-side pressures, the company has a good margin expansion potential through sub-contracting costs, improved pricing, pyramid optimization, best-in-class supply side engine and leverage from revenue growth.
