Indian IT behemoth Tata Consultancy Services reported an 8.7% year-over-year increase in net profit for the June quarter on Thursday. This figure matched analyst projections and was driven up by increased client spending.
With over 80% of its revenue coming from Western markets, the Mumbai-based company is the second-biggest in India in terms of market capitalization.
After the end of the coronavirus pandemic, TCS observed a shift in demand as consumers reduced their IT spending due to rising inflation and an unclear future for the global economy.
With the global economy rebounding and consumers willing to spend money on generative artificial intelligence technologies, the company has forecast more robust performance for the upcoming year.
CEO K Krithivasan said TCS had “all-around growth across industries and markets” and a “strong start to the new fiscal year.”
Because of “annual wage increments in this quarter,” the company delivered a strong operating margin performance,” according to chief financial officer Samir Seksaria.
Next week, Infosys, the group’s Indian competitor, will release its quarterly financial results. Ahead of the earnings release, TCS shares closed 0.37 percent higher in Mumbai.
