TCS Q1FY23 results today: How the IT giant performed in last four quarters

IT giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will announce its Q1 FY23 results by 5.30 pm on Friday, kick-starting the results season for the information technology sector. As per estimates, TCS will likely register a revenue growth between 3.6 and 4 per cent in constant currency terms (cc) quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). The company’s year-on-year (YoY) growth is estimated to be between 11 to 16 per cent for the first quarter of FY23.

According to Motilal Oswal, the IT major’s demand commentary could be strong even as margins may have been hit due to wage hikes. They expect the company would be a key beneficiary of long-term structural tailwinds among the technology pack.

Here’s how TCS has performed in the last four quarters:
