Development for the quarter was broad-based in regards to both location and verticals and it was additional moved by cloud demand and market share gains.

However, the business did not measure the cloud momentum.

TCS does not give assistance but the management said that it is confident about the need circumstance.

It further said innovation spends are undamaged.

This quarter in terms of need has actually had to do with different markets acting in a different way.

North American need continues to be dynamic.

The UK is a challenging operating environment, and Europe is the only market where decision-making is getting impacted due to the existing geopolitical challenges, stated Rajesh Gopinathan, CEO and MD, TCS.

Gopinathan stated: Looking ahead and beyond existing uncertainties, our longer-term development outlook stays robust.

The ongoing global unpredictability did have a major impact on TCS Q3 performance.

TCS handled to maintain its TCV above $8 billion over the past three-four quarters.

The book-to-bill was 1:1, whereas it was 1:2 in the previous quarter.

The total need scenario has actually not changed considerably.

We did see furloughs impact this quarter.

So far nothing to call out as a concern, stated N Ganapathy Subramaniam, COO and executive director, TCS.

Analysts, however, were divided on how to examine the reported numbers.

Sanjeev Hota, head of research study, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, stated: Management commentary on demand environment looks hazy for brief to medium term, owing to the unpredictable international environment.

At the present juncture, owing to multiple global headwinds, the outlook for FY24 looks uncertain, but the recovery could be gradual in the coming quarters.

Structural development story for the Indian IT sector stays undamaged, and TCS being the flagbearer will emerge stronger.

Regardless of near-term volatility, we stay positive on TCS for the long term.

TCS revenues keep momentum in the seasonally weak quarter.

Offer wins TCV at $7.8 billion, 2.6 percent development YoY, was a little soft mainly due to lukewarm activity outside the United States and the UK.

We will await management talk about whether this weak point was manipulated or broad-based outside the US, said a very first cut note from Elara Capital.

On the margin front, the business reported an operating margin at 24.5 per cent.

The margin had a 70-basis point favorable effect of forex; execution effectiveness brought in favorable 30 basis points.

However these were balanced out by higher third-party expenses and the impact of the return to normalcy.

He also acknowledged that the elevated expectation on incomes has boiled down and the supply-side restrictions have actually eased.
