Abstract

The current study aims to analyze the financial performance of the selected IT companies of ‎India-TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL Technologies, and Tech Mahindra under ratio analysis and ‎trend analysis during 2019-2023. An assessment was made using key financial ratios, including ‎profitability, liquidity, and solvency metrics, in order to gauge the financial stability and ‎efficiency of the firms. You are trained on the September 2023 data.‎

No significant differences in Return on Industry (ROE) among the firms were indicated as ‎statistically significant in the ANOVA test. The regression insights suggested that whereas Net ‎Profit Margin is a strong predictor of ROE, Return on Assets (ROA) has an insignificant impact, ‎reaffirming the asset-light model for IT. According to the study, improving profitability through ‎effective cost control and revenue diversification is important for maintaining shareholder value.‎

In conclusion, the results indicate that with the support of cost-effective operational strategies ‎and steady demand for IT services, Indian IT firms are relatively more financially resilient. ‎According to the research, strategies for maintaining long-term financial stability should centre ‎around cost control, innovation, and sustainable revenue models‎.
