Open questions

- ?What follow-up, if any, has emerged on the employee data exposure alerts beyond TCS's initial 'no evidence of breach' statement?
- ?Does the gap between 5-year earnings growth (4.6%) and 5-year revenue growth (13.9%) reflect margin pressure, one-off items, or a change in the underlying business mix?
- ?Does the stock's move above its 50-DMA and 10.09% 3-month gain mark a change in the longer-term trend that has kept it 6.21% below its 200-DMA, or a shorter-term move within that trend?

Risk flags
- mediumTCS trades at ₹2,445.70, 6.21% below its 200-DMA (₹2,607.64) and 25.6% below its 52-week high, down 16.4% over the trailing 12 months, even though it sits 10.88% above its 50-DMA (₹2,205.77) and is up 10.09% over the trailing 3 months.

Cross-section contradictions
- ROE of 47.74% ranks 1st among 6 tracked IT peers and five-year revenue growth stands at 13.9%, yet the stock is down 16.4% over the trailing 12 months and sits 25.6% below its 52-week high — sector-leading profitability coincides with a sustained price decline.
- Price sits 10.88% above the 50-DMA and is up 10.09% over the trailing 3 months, yet the stock remains 6.21% below its 200-DMA and down 16.4% over the trailing 12 months — a near-term recovery reading sits inside a longer-term downtrend.
