The country’s largest IT company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will release its Q4FY26 results on Thursday, April 9. The company will also give information about the financial results of the entire year and the performance of its subsidiary companies on the same day. Additionally, the board can also decide on the final dividend for FY26, which will require the approval of the shareholders.
Expectations increased from AI partnership
Recently TCS has partnered with companies like OpenAI, ServiceNow and Advanced Micro Devices. Its purpose is to rapidly adopt AI technology, due to which investors are keeping an eye on the results of this quarter.
How much can be the profit?
According to brokerage firm Kotak Institutional Equities, TCS’s profit in Q4 may be around Rs 14,058 crore, which is 15% more on an annual basis. Nuvama Institutional Equities, on the other hand, has a slightly lower estimate – around Rs 13,916 crore, i.e. an increase of around 14%.
Expectation of increase in revenue also
Kotak estimates that the company’s revenue may exceed Rs 70,435 crore, which shows an increase of more than 9% on an annual basis. According to Nuvama, this figure could be around Rs 69,714 crore.
Keep an eye on EBIT and margin
According to Kotak, the EBIT of the company can go up to around Rs 17,799 crore, while Nuvama believes it to be around Rs 17,679 crore. Although salary hike and new acquisitions may have an impact, the weakness of the rupee may provide some relief.
Layoffs and attrition also under discussion
TCS has already said that it may lay off about 2% of its employees by FY26. The company’s attrition rate in Q3 was 13.5%, which the market will also keep an eye on.
Last quarter performance
The company’s profit in Q3FY26 was Rs 10,657 crore, which was down by about 14% on an annual basis. The revenue stood at Rs 67,087 crore, in which a slight increase was seen.
waiting for dividend
The company has indicated the final dividend for FY26, but the amount has not been decided yet. In the last 12 months, the company had paid a total dividend of Rs 109 per share. TCS’s results this time are going to be special, because investors are eyeing the focus on AI, possible dividend and the growth strategy of the company.
