INTRODUCTION
Financial analysis is the
process of evaluating
businesses, projects, budgets
and other finance-related
entities to determine their
performance and suitability. Typically, financial analysis is used to analyze
whether an entity is stable, solvent, liquid or profitable enough to warrant
a monetary investment. When looking at a specific company, a financial
analyst conducts analysis by focusing on the income statement, balance
sheet and cash flow statement. Financial analysis is used to evaluate
economic trends, set financial policy, build long-term plans for business
activity, and identify projects or companies for investment. This is done
through the synthesis of financial numbers and data.
One of the most common ways to analyze financial data is to calculate
ratios from the data to compare against those of other companies or
against the company's own historical performance. For example, return on
assets (ROA) is a common ratio used to determine how efficient a
company is at using its assets and as a measure of profitability. This ratio
could be calculated for several similar companies and compared as part of
a larger analysis.
Financial analysis can be conducted in both corporate finance and
investment finance settings. In corporate finance, the analysis is
conducted internally, using such ratios as net present value (NPV) and
internal rate of return (IRR) to find projects worth executing. A key area of
corporate financial analysis involves extrapolating a company’s past
performance, such as gross revenue or profit margin, into an estimate of
the company’s future performance. This allows the business to forecast
budgets and make decisions based on past trends, such as inventory
levels.
In investment finance, an outside financial analyst conducts financial analysis
for investment purposes. Analysts can either conduct a top-down or bottom-
up investment approach. A top-down approach first looks for macroeconomic
opportunities, such as high-performing sectors, and then drills down to find
6|Page
the best companies within that sector. A bottom-up approach, on the other
hand, looks at a specific company and conducts similar ratio analysis to
corporate financial analysis, looking at past performance and expected future
performance as investment indicators.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research is essentially a logical and an organized enquiry seeking facts through
objective verifiable methods in order to discover the relationship among them and to
refer from the board principles or laws. It is really a method of critical thinking.
Research may be defined as a systematic and objective analysis and recording of
controlled observation that may land to the development of generalization of
principles and theories resulting in prediction and possibly ultimate control of
events.
Methodology is often used in a narrow sense to refer to methods, technology or tools
employed for the collection of data as well as its processing. This is also used
sometimes to designate data collected to been done. It provides answers to some of
the major questions while search like what must be do

11 | P a g e
ne, how it will be done, what data will be needed, what data gathering devices will be
employed, how sources of data will be analyzed at the conclusion.
DIFFERENT TYPE OF RESEARCH METHODS:
Success of conducting research depends over the result that is gained by the
researcher at the end of the research. These obtained results are affected by the used
methods to conduct research. In this way, there are
Two Types of Methods:
A) Primary Method
B) Secondary Method

12 | P a g e
A) Primary Method: All the data that are collected at first time are included
under the primary data collection method. Three approaches or methods are
comprised under the primary data methods such as:
1. Observation method
2. In-depth interview and
3. Survey through questionnaire.
Under the primary data collection method, most of the researchers prefer to use
direct communication with the respondents to reach at the result of the research.

2. Data Interpretation
Liquidity Ratio
Liquidity Ratio is a financial ratio which is used to determine the
company’s abilities to pay its short-term debt. When it comes to financing,
liquidity is a necessary thing to consider about and liquidity ratio is an
essential accounting tool that is used to decide the current debt repaying ability
of a borrower this ratio shows. Whether and individual or enterprise can pay
off its short term dues besides any exterior financial help.
Current Ratio
Current Ratio suggests the financial capability of an enterprise to set off
the current obligations by utilizing its current assets.
Formula
Current Ratio= TCS WIPRO

Standard Deviation 1.130044 0.31305
Coefficient of 0.241 0.105
variance

18 | P a g e
Growth 0.42 7.4

Interpretation
The ideal quick ratio is 1, if the quick ratio is 1:1 then it indicates that the
company can pay its current debts by without selling its long term assets. If a
company has a quick ratio higher than the 1:1 this means company owns more
quick assets than current liabilities. From the above table it can be concluded
that by comparing between the two companies TCS has more quick assets than
WIPRO and TCS can pay its currents debts without selling its long term assets.
In the year 2016, 2017, 2018 the quick ratio of TCS is increasing in the year
2019 the quick ratio of TCS was the highest with 6.4:1 this means that the in
the 2019 TCS has the more quick assets and in the year 2020 the company’s
quick ratio reduced from 6.4 to 4.7 it means TCS must have sold its quick
assets to pay off its debt. WIPRO ltd quick ratio is increasing and decreasing
from 2.8 to 2.9 and again in 2019 WIPRO ltd has its highest quick ratio of 3.5
and in the year 2020 WIPRO ltd must have sold its quick assets to pay off its
current debts.
Gross Profit.

19 | P a g e
-
Gross Profit Ratio is ratio which has the relationship between gross profit and
Net revenue of the companies. It is used to measure a company’s financial
health, the amount left from sales after subtracting the cost of goods sold.
The higher attrition among women in FY 2023 is a setback to our efforts
to promote gender diversity but we are doubling down
on it. Focused leadership development programs like iExcel
are driving tremendous change. Of all the leadership positions
fulfilled with internal candidates in FY 2023, women made up
23% of the selected candidates, even though they account for
only 14% of the applicant pool. This speaks well of the quality
of the women candidates in our leadership pool as well as
the supportive attitudes of our business leaders in promoting
diversity. Likewise, in our external hiring, women make up 38.1%
of our net hires this year, versus 35.7% in our world.

Interpretation
The higher the gross profit margin the better it is. A higher gross profit
margin indicates the company did it well in managing its cost of sales. From
the above table it can be conclude that comparing between the two companies
TCS TCS has the higher the gross profit margin and it is performing well. In
the year 2016 TCS has the highest gross profit ratio. In the year 2016 Wipro ltd
also had the highest gross profit margin and it drop down in 2017 but after
2017 it starts increasing.

Interpretation
A low amount of debt indicates that the company is getting financing more
from funding from shareholders. A higher ratio indicates that the company is
getting finance by more borrowing money, which subjects the company to
potential risk if debt levels are too high. From the above table it can be
concluded that TCS is getting finance more from borrowing debts and from the
last five years the ratio starts decreasing and this is satisfactory, and Wipro ltd
debt to equity ratio is low which means the company is getting financing from
shareholders and over the last five year the ratio starts decreasing which is
satisfactory.

YoY, respectively
 As per the management, the demand environment continues to be strong as
reflected in the deal pipeline. The management indicated that in a scenario where
clients are facing cost pressure, technology spend is the last area to get hit since
technology spend is now looked as a solution enabler vs. being discretionary spend
earlier
 Attrition was at 17.4% (up from 15.3% in the previous quarter) but the
management indicated that quarterly annualised attrition has started tapering
down. The company added 35,209 associates in Q4, taking the total to 592195. It

US$8-8.5 bn, going forward

help in pyramid optimisation
 The company indicated that growth in continental Europe for the quarter was
muted due to some re-allocation in client budget in the region due to emergence of

39 | P a g e
multiple scenarios on account of current geopolitical headwinds. TCS indicated
that growth in the regions would moderate till the issues settle down
 TCS indicated that the current digital transformation opportunity has three
horizons where horizon 1 pertains to moving one’s onsite applications to cloud,

ecosystem play for sectors like pharma, manufacturing, etc)
