Q4 Earnings to watch
All eyes are on the tech companies as these numbers will officially kickstart the earnings action-

Along with the quarterly numbers, India’s largest IT company may also consider rewarding shareholders by announcing an interim dividend. TCS has been in news after it announced that the company is all set o hike employee salaries. One of the key aspects to watch out for in Q4 numbers would be the discretionary spend and order pipeline of the company. It will indicate the demand environment.
Infosys
The other key tech major, Infosys will also set to announce its Q4 earnings. According to BSE filings, Infosys will declare Q4FY25 earnings on April 17. The board may also consider dividend along with the fourth quarter numbers. Infosys share price has been under pressure in the recent past after Accenture narrowed its revenue guidance. However, Accenture reduced the guidance on the back of potential cuts from US Govt orders. What works in Infosys’ favour is that it has no exposure to orders from US Govt. However, Infosys Guidance will be a crucial cue that the street will be watching out for.
