HCL Technologies will be reporting its Q3 numbers on January 15. The street is expecting a 3 percent revenue growth.

However, the numbers could be better than estimates as analysts have not been able to gauge the true strength of demand.

Margins are expected to remain under pressure, lower by 40 basis points, as the company had announced wage hikes for the junior employees this quarter. Profits could be slightly higher by roughly 2 percent.

However, the key thing to look out for is whether HCL Technologies upgrades its quarterly guidance of 1.5-2.5 percent. The expectation is that they will because the DWS acquisition will push up its growth rates in the March quarter.

CNBC-TV18’s Reema Tendulkar gets more details on what to expect from the Q3 earnings.
