TCS reports soft Q1, blames it in currency, BFSI slump

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) kick-started the new fiscal with a soft first quarter, primarily due to slowdown in the banking and financial services (BFSI) segment. What also hurt earnings was currency appreciation.

Revenue in dollar terms remained subdued and increased 1.6% quarter-on-quarter to nearly $5.5 billion, which was below consensus estimates of 2.4%-2.6%, according to the results announced on Tuesday.
