TCS Share Price Outlook

As the company wrapped the quarter by signing industry defining- deals and strong client metrics. So, we can expect a strong performance of the company in coming quarters as well. This will have a direct positive impact on TCS share price and we can see new lifetime highs.

What to expect on Friday market opening?

As the results were broadly in line with the market estimates and the stock is already trading at its high record. It will be a bit tough to say based on third quarter results itself. But yes, we can expect TCS Share price to be flat or it could open marginally up on Friday’s opening bell.
