    Tata Consultancy Services | Rating: Neutral | Target: Rs 2232

    Global research firm has come out with a report on top Indian IT companies including Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and Wipro. The research firm has maintained a neutral rating on TCS and has raised the stock price from Rs 2068 to Rs 2232 per share.

However, it feels that the stock is likely to face headwinds with discretionary IT spend, margin and utilisation pressure and uncertainty around strategy. On the flip side, Goldman Sachs sees some positive tickers for Infosys including growth in app business, increase in revenue per employee, utilisation and pricing growth.

    Wipro| Rating: Sell from Neutral | Target: Rs 238

    Goldman Sachs has downgraded Wipro from neutral to sell rating and has maintained a target price of Rs 238 per scrip. The research firm believes that recent outperformance of the company does not reflect any fundamental change in business model and expects EPS growing at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3 percent over FY17-20. According to Goldman Sachs, Wipro may face headwinds inclusing underperformance in quarterly earnings, market share loss and continued uncertainty in healthcare verticals.
