Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares plummeted 5% on Wednesday, wiping out over $1.6 billion in market value, as the technology giant's quarterly earnings fell short of analysts' expectations. The stock closed at ₹ 3,300.20 per share on the NSE, its lowest level in over two months.

Weak Earnings, Strong Outlook

TCS reported a 7.6% year-on-year decline in net profit to ₹ 9,178 crore for the quarter ended March 31, missing estimates of ₹ 9,550 crore. However, the company maintained its revenue guidance for the fiscal year, citing a strong pipeline of deals and increasing demand for digital transformation services. "We continue to see a robust demand for TCS' services, driven by the accelerated adoption of digital technologies," said K Krithivasan, Chief Operating Officer, TCS.

Analysts at Edelweiss Securities were cautious, citing a slower-than-expected revenue growth and lower-than-expected profit margins. "We had expected a stronger revenue growth and higher profit margins, given the company's strong market position and diversified client base," said the analysts in a research note. stock-trading-platform
