As TCS loses shine, investors place hopes on Infosys, HCLTech

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is losing investor confidence, with its shares declining over 20% this year due to weaker revenue growth and fewer large deals compared to rivals Infosys and HCL Technologies. While TCS trades at a lower price-to-earnings ratio, raising concerns about its competitive edge, investors are shifting their focus to Infosys and HCLTech, the second and third-largest IT services firms in India, which are displaying more favorable growth prospects.

In slow December quarter, TCS beats Infosys

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has outperformed Infosys in the December quarter as its revenue rose by 1% sequentially, beating profit estimates. A significant portion of TCS's growth was driven by a large contract with BSNL. However, both TCS and Infosys are at risk of registering their slowest annual growth due to the global economic slowdown. Additionally, the combined workforce of both companies declined by 11,781 employees during the quarter. TCS reported a revenue of $7.28 billion and a net profit of $1.41 billion, while Infosys reported revenue of $4.66 billion and a net profit of $733 million.

TCS and Infosys show earnings resilience, while Mphasis was the top loser, dropping 3.12% to Rs 2,376.40.

How HCLTech bucked the shrinking headcount trend

Major Indian software services companies, such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys, witnessed a decline in their collective headcount in the recently concluded financial year.
