Brokerages Increased target Prices On TCS; IT Companies Worst Impacted

As per Edelweiss, “The company has returned to positive growth zone on YoY basis and management is confident of regaining double-digit growth trajectory.” The target price had been raised to Rs. 4,176 from Rs. 4,000. Brokerages have reportedly raised target prices on TCS after TCS recorded results that were better than the December quarter.

Technology companies have been among those industries that were the worst impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some huge deals and client’s preparedness to spend on cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and internet of things managed to turn over the scenario for IT industries.

Tata Consultancy Services itself has reported deal wins for as much as Rs. 6.8 billion in the quarter that ended in December.
