Earnings Update | TCS: Reports Decent Earnings

By Ankit Agrawal, CFA

  • TCS reported a healthy revenue growth of 15.4% YoY in constant currency (CC) terms. Operating margins contracted by -60bp to 25%, due to supply-side challenges. 
  • LTM attrition for TCS was 15.4%, best in the industry. However, on an absolute basis, it is high and TCS is continuously working on stabilizing it.  
  • Growth has been broad-based across sectors and the demand outlook remains robust on the back of strong spends by corporates on digital transformation and adoption of cloud.

SAIL: Bottomed Out Valuation; SAIL to Benefit from a Prolonged Steel Up-Cycle

By Axis Direct

  • We initiate coverage on SAIL with a BUY recommendation and a Target Price (TP) of Rs 150/share, implying an upside of 44% from the CMP
  • While we expect steel margins to come under pressure in H2FY22, they are likely to recover post H2FY22 and remain above cycle average
  • Our optimism is based on the expectation of weak demand in China getting offset by lower production forecasts and China continuing to disincentivize steel exports

Godrej Consumer: Investment Rationale Intact

By Motilal Oswal

  • Godrej Consumer (GCPL) is our top pick from our Staples Coverage Universe from a oneyear horizon
  • Recent sales growth momentum encouraging: After maintaining a Neutral view on GCPL for 10 years, we turned bullish on its prospects earlier this year
  • Mr Sudhir Sitapati’s medium-term focus would be on driving double-digit volume led growth primarily via penetration gains
