It will offer a price of up to ₹4,500 a share. That’s a premium of nearly 17% to the closing price on Wednesday (January 12).<br /><div type="image" title="TCS share" height="900" width="1200" msid="88859723" hostid="261"></div>TCS revealed its share buyback plan along with reporting a 4.5% growth in revenue in constant currency terms. This is comparable to Infosys (7%) and Wipro (3%) in the same period. <br /><br />Since companies like Wipro, TCS, and Infosys export software, and earn in dollars, pounds or euros, they report growth in constant currency terms, which is adjusted for foreign exchange fluctuations. <br /><div type="image" title="TCS dollar" height="900" width="1200" msid="88859729" hostid="261"></div>TCS added 10 new clients whose annual revenue potential is $100 million or more in a year for the company. “Quote on deals”<br /><br />“Overall we don’t have a specific preference of small deal, medium deal or large deal. We participate across the board and stay continuously engaged across the full spectrum. Very large deals like $500 million or billion dollar deals, they by nature are few and far between. More importantly, they take a long time to mature and are unpredictable in terms of when they will close. There are a few in the pipeline but we can't tell as to when they will come through,” said Rajesh Gopinathan, chief executive officer and managing director at TCS. <br /><div type="image" title="TCS clients" height="900" width="1200" msid="88859738" hostid="261"></div>The largest Indian IT firm has reported 12% on year growth in net profit of ₹9,769 crore in the December quarter. The company has also announced a dividend of ₹7 per share to investors. <br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO: </strong><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/tcs-completes-its-fresher-hiring-target-three-months-ahead-of-schedule-but-its-not-done-yet/articleshow/88858310.cms">TCS completes its fresher hiring target three months ahead of schedule but it’s not done yet</a><br /><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/the-attrition-at-infosys-is-worse-than-that-at-wipro-ceo-salil-parekh-has-increased-hiring-plan-by-10000/articleshow/88856648.cms">The attrition at Infosys is worse than that at Wipro, Salil Parekh has increased hiring plan by 10,000</a><br />

So in absolute terms our attrition still went up this quarter compared to last quarter, but in percentage terms it has actually started to flatten and we think that the trend will continue into next quarter. So will [sic] have to wait and see, early days yet, but the curve is definitely flattening,” said Rajesh Gopinathan, chief executive officer (CEO) at TCS in a press conference for Q4 earnings release. <br /><br />The employee benefits expenses, which usually includes health insurance benefits, transport facilities, work from home policy and education assistance for retaining and hiring an employee grew by ₹15,740 crore in FY22 compared to the previous financial year. This shows a big hit on the firm’s expenses.<br /><br />The issue is not limited to TCS, but each IT firm in the industry as companies are hiring more employees with good hikes, promotions to mitigate those leaving the firm. <br /><br />On a brighter side, the IT major has hired over 1.03 lakh employees in FY22 with an army of almost 6 lakh people.

acquisition of Capco, the largest ever buyout by the Bengaluru-based company. <br /><br />The shares of Wipro have led the IT pack ever since the new chief executive officer (CEO) Thierry Delaporte took charge in June last year. The company made about $2 billion last year from IT services and if Capco delivers the same amount of revenue as it did last year, it could add another $700 million to Wipro’s topline. That’s a 35% bump up a year straight away.<br /><br />Expectations are built up in the stock that has gained about 30% since the Capco deal was announced in early March, and closed in April.<br /><br />      <div type="image" title="Wirpo stock price chart" height="900" width="1200" msid="84201479" hostid="261"></div><br />There is also a lot of apprehension. “The execution risk is further aggravated by a weak growth performance from Capco over the last two years – even after adjusting for the drag due to COVID-19,” said Motilal Oswal in its report dated March 4.<br /><br />“We’re guiding revenue growth of 2% to 4% in the first quarter, outside of Capco and Ampion,” Delaporte had said during the earnings call in April. Wipro has acquired Ampion, an Australia-based provider of cyber security, devops and quality engineering services. The move will strengthen its commitment towards clients and stakeholders in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). The acquisition will close in the quarter ending June 30, 2021.<br /><br />It’s boom time for all tech companies <br /><br />For the rest of the top five IT services majors, the growth is likely to continue on the same trend seen since the pandemic broke out. “IT spending from North America and Europe has gained momentum and demand for digital transformation has increased exponentially,” Axis Securities said in a report dated July 6.<br /><br /><table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"><strong>Company<br /><br /></strong></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"><strong>New deals from April to June 2021<br /></strong><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">TCS<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Proximus, Ericsson, Virgin Atlantic, Alcatel-Lucent, Commercial Bank of Kuwait<br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Infosys<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">ArcelorMittal Europe, Britvic, Archrock<br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">HCLT<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">UD Trucks Corporation, Hitachi ABB Power Grids, McLaren Health Care<br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Wipro<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Bristol Water, Transcell Oncologics, Levi Strauss &amp; Co<br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Tech Mahindra<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Pret A Manger<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br />However, wage hike and rising attrition since the start of the year may dent operating margins of IT companies.
