| Holding the fort | 22-JAN-09 |
|
| The October-December results of the leading Indian software firms appear better than they actually are, thanks to a 3 per cent depreciation of the rupee against the US dollar during the period. All the big three firms — TCS, Infosys and Wipro — have posted on a consolidated basis fairly healthy top line growth, in the 24-35 per cent range. They have also more or less maintained their net margins, in terms of their own past trends. Infosys, as is usual, leads the pack with a net margin of 28.4 per cent, while Wipro (which also has non-IT businesses) has clocked 15.1 per cent, both keeping to their own trends. It is TCS which is off the trend, posting a fall of nearly two percentage points in the last six months compared to the previous six—apparently because of currency losses. The numbers not only look different when restated in dollar terms, the outlook projected by the firms is also distinctly sombre. |
