IT companies broadly follow US stock markets and rightly so. If US economy gets better these stocks would do well for sure due to high revenue growth potential and cheap INR.

If these are the reasons - then TCS should give the 1300 levels again in the coming months ?

I say its a question mark, pie is big but players have increased too. Entry barriers are coming down a lot. IT is a pure commodity play and cyclical in nature and very volatile to global scenario.
 
Chances of doubling of MCAP from current level in next 5 years looks very remote i.e. hardly 15% CAGR. Should one invest for such low return?

Visiting the thread after a long time. Lot of wealth created by this co Inspite of being Indias largest cap company for long. People who followed the thread would have created lot of wealth by now.

The company is still on an aggressive growth path. With our sourcing opportunity at USD 1.85 trillion n TCS ROCE of 50% n depreciating rupee it's a buy n hold story.

Let's get this thread active again.

Teddies who would have followed this thread would have been laughing all the way to the bank. The story has played out as predicted in the beginning of this thread.
Right comparison of Tcs shud be at the international level . As long as Chandra is at the helm TCS will remain an outperformer n shud be held onto.

@$60bn this is already 2nd largest IT company after IBM which is struggling to grow. IBM has resorted to cost cuts etc. I agree growth potential is huge but challenges in front of mgmt. is also huge. They need to find new business to generate incremental profits of $600m so that they keep growing mcap by 20% assuming PE of 20x. As an individual investor I would have taken money off the table and invested in Mindtree or iGate. I noticed that Mindtree just got doubled over last year or so.
