Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
TCS commands a market cap of ₹8.4 lakh crore with a PE of 17x and ROE consistently above 49% over five years, reflecting capital-efficient operations. However, the stock has declined 22% over the past year and trades at nearly 8x book value, while revenue growth has remained in single digits at 8% TTM.
- Exceptional return on equity of 52% over the last year and 3-year average of 52%, indicating highly capital-efficient business model
- Consistent profit compounding at 8-9% CAGR across 3, 5, and 10-year periods demonstrates earnings stability through cycles
- Healthy dividend payout ratio of 77.5% provides reliable income stream to shareholders
- PE ratio of 17x is notably lower than historical IT sector averages, suggesting valuation has compressed from prior peaks
- 10-year compounded sales growth of 9% and profit growth of 8% reflect long-term secular demand for IT services
- Near-zero debt structure (no meaningful debt-to-equity ratio reported) eliminates balance sheet risk and interest burden
- Market cap of ₹8.4 lakh crore provides institutional-grade liquidity and index weight, reducing liquidity risk for large investors
- Stock price has declined 22% over the past 1 year, significantly underperforming broader market indices
- Trading at 7.95x price-to-book value, which is expensive relative to tangible asset backing
- 5-year sales CAGR of only 10.2% reflects sluggish top-line growth for a company of this scale
- 3-year stock CAGR of -11% indicates sustained value destruction for medium-term investors
- TTM revenue growth of 8% suggests ongoing deceleration from the 10% five-year average
- Dividend yield of only 0.51% is modest despite high payout ratio, reflecting elevated stock price relative to earnings distributed
- 5-year stock CAGR of -8% shows the stock has failed to generate positive returns even over a half-decade horizon
- 10-year stock CAGR of just 6% lags broader Indian equity market returns over the same period
