TCS‘s share price was racing at the bourses on Friday, going up close to 3% to hit an intraday high of ₹4,035.95.

What Happened: The surge today comes as the company’s June quarter results beat street estimates. The Tata Group company's net profit for the June quarter came in at ₹12,040 crore, an increase of 8.7% from the ₹11,074 crore profit reported in the same quarter last year.

The IT services company’s revenue for the quarter reached ₹62,613 crore, up 5.4% from ₹59,381 crore. Both the revenue and net profit exceeded analyst estimates of ₹62,150 crore and ₹11,975 crore, respectively.

Brokerage Reactions: Most brokerages were upbeat about the company’s strong performance. JP Morgan maintained its “overweight” rating for the stock, raising its target price to ₹4,600 from ₹4,500. The global research firm said it is encouraging that the company continued to gain momentum despite the sluggish demand environment.

Jefferies upgraded the stock’s rating to “buy” from “hold”, raising the target price to ₹4,615 from ₹4,030. The analyst said the company’s June quarter results beat its estimates and noted that net hiring being at a year high was an emerging sign of revival.
