Top Stocks in Focus Today

Among the buzzing stocks today will be Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).

India's largest IT company TCS reported a 28.5% year-on-year (YoY) growth in its consolidated net profit to Rs 90.1 bn for the quarter ended June 2021.

Its consolidated revenues for the quarter surged 18.5% YoY to Rs 454.1 bn.

TCS missed estimates as analysts had expected the firm to report near 5% sequential growth in consolidated revenues and consolidated net profit of Rs 93.7 bn.

In a press conference, the company's MD and CEO Rajesh Gopinathan said,

  • Our business in North America, BFSI and retail all showed an appreciable growth which underlines the resilience of our operating model, relevance of our offerings and above all, the passion and dedication of our associates.

TCS' order book showed significant strength as it managed order wins worth US$8.1 bn in the June quarter, a 17.3% growth YoY.

TCS managed to keep a lid on attrition. At a headcount of 509,058, TCS reported attrition of 8.6%.

Although the attrition rate is the lowest among peers, it has gone up from last quarter's 7.2%.

The company's board also approved an interim dividend of Rs 7 per equity share.

Tata Power share price will also be in focus today.

Tata Power announced that the company has been empanelled and won a contract worth Rs 4 bn from the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEBL) on 2 July 2021 to develop 64 megawatt (MW) solar rooftop project for domestic consumers across all districts of Kerala.

'As a part of this agreement, the company will implement projects through KSEBL of 80 MW for individual households with solar capacity ranging from 3 kilowatt (kW) - 10 kW and for 20 MW of residential / housing society with projects (solar capacity ranging from 11 kW - 100 kW),' Tata Power said.

The company has won this capacity in a bid announced by KSEBL in February 2021 under the 'Soura Subsidy Scheme in Domestic Sector', Kerala, in line with the phase II subsidy programme of the ministry of new & renewable energy.

The project has to be commissioned within three months of receipt of an order from individual residential customers.

Besides rooftop, the company had earlier received a letter of award (LoA) from KSEBL on 6 January 2021 to develop a 110 MW solar project which is expected to generate about 274 mega units (MU) of energy per year.

Upon completion of this 84 MW of solar rooftop project, it is expected to generate 120 MU of energy per year and will annually offset approximately 100 m kg of CO2.
