TCS Shares May Open Slightly Higher After Q2 Results
Tata Consultancy Services reported its results for the quarter ending in September.
Its revenue was a little higher than experts had expected.
Tushar Badjate thinks the shares may start Friday a little higher, but he does not expect a big move.
He estimated the shares could trade between ₹2,080 and ₹2,200 that day.
The company signed $9.6 billion worth of deals during the quarter.
Its annualised revenue from AI-related work is now more than $3 billion.
Badjate said that AI growth is not yet making up for weakness in older parts of the business.
He thinks the shares could be valued more highly if AI growth becomes larger than the decline in that older business.
Tata Consultancy Services slightly exceeded Street estimates for revenue in the September quarter.
Director Tushar Badjate expects a flat-to-slightly-positive opening and range-bound trading on Friday, October 9.
Badjate sees ₹2,080–₹2,200 as a possible Friday trading range and is watching ₹2,000 as support.
TCS signed $9.6 billion in deals during the quarter, while annualised AI revenue exceeded $3 billion.
Badjate says AI growth could support a stock re-rating if it outpaces declines in the legacy business.

“TCS does roughly $7.6 billion of revenue a quarter. A 0.5% growth adds only about $38 million. In the same quarter, annualised AI revenue went up by $500 million, which works out to about $125 million for the quarter. So AI added around $125 million, while total revenue grew by only $38 million. Which means the non-AI business actually shrank by $85 to 90 million in one quarter.”

“Technically, ₹2,000 is the level I'm watching. The stock found support there after the August fall. If it holds, ₹2,250 to 2,300 is possible over the next few months. For Friday, I'd expect it to trade somewhere between ₹2,080 and ₹2,200.”
