Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest information technology services company, on Monday reported its financial results for the third quarter of the 2025–26 financial year, ending December 31, 2025. The company’s consolidated net profit after tax (PAT) declined by 14 percent year‑on‑year to ₹10,657 crore, compared with ₹12,380 crore in the same quarter last year. Despite this drop in profitability, TCS’s revenue from operations grew 5 percent year‑on‑year to ₹67,087 crore, up from ₹63,973 crore in the December quarter of the previous fiscal.
The decline in profit was also reflected on a sequential basis, with PAT falling nearly 12 percent from ₹12,075 crore reported in the preceding quarter. However, revenue showed modest sequential growth of about 2 percent over the July–September quarter. TCS’s board declared an interim dividend of ₹57 per equity share for FY26, which includes a third interim dividend of ₹11 per share and a special dividend of ₹46 per share; the record date for dividend eligibility is January 17, 2026, and the payment date is February 3, 2026.
Management highlighted that the firm’s growth momentum continued through the quarter, driven in part by demand for artificial intelligence (AI)‑related services. TCS’s annualised AI services revenue reached approximately $1.8 billion, reflecting the company’s focus on expanding its AI capabilities across client engagements. The results come amid a broader IT sector environment of cautious client spending and margin pressures.
The stock market reaction to the results was mixed, with TCS shares showing modest movement following the earnings announcement as investors digested the interplay between revenue growth and profit contraction. Analysts noted that while revenue growth beat estimates, the decline in profit was more pronounced than expected, influenced by certain one‑time charges.
