Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is all set to start the results season for the biggies on this Friday. Analysts at IIFL Capital Services are forecasting a revenue growth of 2.7% cc on a sequential basis, driven by a full-quarter ramp-up of the BSNL deal and reversal of furloughs in the US and Europe. They expect the company’s EBIT margins to remain broadly stable at 24.9% (down 10 basis points sequentially); as productivity benefits and muted hiring are partially offset by the lower-margin BSNL deal. The company could post healthy deal wins amid cost take-out deals.

Profit After Tax or PAT could grow 1.5% on a sequential basis.

Important management insights to watch out for:

• Overall demand environment for FY25; particularly for discretionary spending
• Deal-win TCV and decision-making cycles
• Vertical-wise outlook
• Potential margin levers for FY25, including expected wage hikes
