The Indian Information Technology sector is currently being dominated by some major players. The major ones are Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, Wipro and Mindtree. These players are one of the major players in this segment. The entire Information Technology market reacts to the results of these companies.
The results for this quarter are comparatively weak for almost all the I.T. companies. The reasons behind the same were the Russia Ukraine Crisis and COVID Impact. However the announcements made from the companies reinvested the investor’s trust into the sector. Almost all the companies suggested that the next quarter and the Financial year all together would be very good for the companies. The growth suggested by the companies would not be impacted by recession. Let’s analyse the growth and results of various companies together.
Wipro
The results for Wipro indicate that the company’s revenue grew by 3 to 5%. The global markets grew by double digits. However the quarterly growth for the top 2 markets namely America and Europe was 16 to 18% only. The company’s forecasts for the next 2.5 months are extremely bullish. The company aims that the growth for the next 2.5 months would not be affected by recession.
As per Wipro every market is growing and there is no stoppage in spending. The deal pipeline is one of the major reasons why Wipro is bagging heavily on its next quarter results. One of the biggest deals that the company has been in the pipeline is 1.1 billion dollars. It has also doubled its 100 million dollars client list. The rise in the same is approx. 20% from 10%. Hence the company looks extremely strong in the further quarter.
TCS
Tata Consultancy Services is the best market capitalised company in Indian I.T. segment. The results for the firm were not good for this quarter as well. The future insights from the board show that the company has multiple big projects in the pipeline and the further economic outputs are not going to affect its quarterly results.

HCL Technologies
It is one of the most dampened stocks in current times. The company has achieved its 52 week low levels during the bear run. The share has a 52 week low of 877 Rs in last month itself. This was the result of various factors including the market slowdown. The results of the company suggest a 11% rise in revenue, 5.15% rise in Earning before interest and taxation. However the Profit after tax is just 0.22% up from the industry average and its average of 5 years quarterly results.
If we consider sequential results then the net profit is down by 8% and the revenue growth was just 3.8%. In dollar terms the revenue growth sequentially was just 1%. Thus overall the company is under heavy pressure and needs a good recovery to put it back on track.
The current share price for the company shows 928 Rs on the BSE and NSE index.
Infosys
The biggest update from Infosys is its growth average. The company revised the same from 13% to 16%. This means that the investors can expect a hefty return from the share in further time periods. Amid the uncertainties prevailing in the market the growth is expected to be good in the upcoming quarters. The markets are reacting in favour of the company. Also the deals in its pipeline are indicating a major upside for the next quarterly results.
The deals for the company have been growing from the US and European region. Also the deals in the pipeline are increasing and those too averaging above 50 million dollars in size. The major demands are noticed in digital transformation and cost & efficiency based projects. The margin guidance for the company is close to 20% and it is going to be the same for the further time to come.
Tech Mahindra
The company has disclosed that its EBIT would be above 14% for the next quarter. The margin for the EBIT was 11% which was the lowest for the firm. This time around will be more than 14%. The company also suffered due to the recent crisis but has managed to win contracts of 800 million dollars. Tech Mahindra has put forward a del closure of 4 billion dollars by the end of this financial year. This is a major commitment by the board to the investors and the company is also positive in this regard.
