TCS announced its results after markets closed on Monday and hence the resultant impact cannot be ascertained (Indian markets are closed on Tuesday for Mahavir Jayanti). However, TCS, which opened lower on account of a US trial in which the jury awarded close to $10 million in damages, closed the day at the day’s high after the company said it would contest the claim. Kotak Securities in a report on the event said that it prima facie does not see the US case as one of infringement. Analysts in general, too, were not particularly perturbed by the legal issue and have given the company’s performance a thumbs-up.    Sensex Astrology

Infosys posted a net profit of Rs 3,597 crore against estimates of about Rs 3,520 crore. TCS, too, recorded profit of Rs 6,341 crore, higher than expectations of Rs 6,300 crore. On the revenue front, TCS matched market expectations but thanks to a higher other income component the company was able to post better profit numbers.

TCS posted 2.1% QoQ growth in constant currency term and a volume growth of 3.2% during the same period.
