TCS Q3 Results: Revenue Beats, Profit Under Pressure
Among early reporters, Tata Consultancy Services delivered a mixed performance for the third quarter of FY26. The country’s largest IT services firm surpassed revenue growth expectations, supported by sustained demand from BFSI clients, North America, and AI-led transformation projects.
For the October–December quarter, TCS reported:
- Revenue: ₹67,087 crore, up 4.9% year-on-year
- Sequential revenue growth: 2%
- Net profit: ₹10,657 crore, down 13.9% YoY
The decline in profitability was attributed to restructuring costs, one-time expenses related to new labour codes, and a ₹1,010 crore provision for a legal claim. Despite margin pressures, TCS declared a dividend of ₹57 per equity share, offering some comfort to shareholders amid volatile Q3FY26 earnings.
HCLTech Q3 Results: One-Time Costs Weigh on Profit
Another IT major, HCLTech, also reported pressure on profitability in Q3FY26. The company posted an 11.1% decline in net profit, impacted by a one-time effect from newly implemented labour codes.
Key highlights include:
- Net profit: ₹4,076 crore
- Revenue: ₹33,872 crore, up 13.3% YoY
- Sequential revenue growth: 6%
Growth was driven by the financial services and manufacturing verticals, reinforcing resilience in core demand. Together, the TCS and HCLTech numbers set the tone for broader IT sector expectations within Q3 results today.
