Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is expected to kick off the earnings seasons with strong growth numbers. The fact it signed as many as 14 new deals in the last three months ending September is a sign that the demand for digital transformation and migration to cloud services remains strong.

Most analysts expect around 5% revenue growth in the Jul-Sep quarter compared to the preceding three months.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs expect the trend in migration to cloud services will continue for at least 3-5 years more. A Phillips Capital report said that the strong momentum in client spending will convert strong bookings to revenue.

The 14 new deals signed on TCS is more than any of its peers including Infosys, Tech Mahindra and HCL Technologies.

However, the Indian IT services behemoth’s stock has not performed well in the last one month as shares of the company have fallen 2.54%. Most of the brokerages expect the company’s stock to cross the ₹4,000 mark or even more.
