HCLTech reported Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹33,872 Cr ($3,793M), up 6.0% QoQ and 13.3% YoY, with constant currency growth of 4.2% QoQ and 4.8% YoY. EBIT margin recovered strongly to 18.6% (up from 17.4% QoQ) with management calling it a standout quarter, while net income rose 13.2% QoQ to ₹4,795 Cr. New deal wins (TCV) of $3,006M jumped 43.5% YoY, and the company crossed $15B in annualized revenue for the first time. FY26 guidance was maintained at 4.0-4.5% CC revenue growth and 17.0-18.0% EBIT margin (the reported Q3 margin is at the top of the band). Cash balance hit a record ₹34,306 Cr with FCF/NI at 120% and LTM ROIC improving 277 bps YoY to 39.4%; LTM attrition eased to 12.4% and Advanced AI revenue grew 19.9% QoQ CC to $146M. Q3 figures exclude a one-time ₹956 Cr impact from New Labour Codes.
Strong across-the-board quarter — margin recovery, record bookings, and AI momentum should support sentiment. Robust cash generation continues to fund consistent dividends (₹12/share, 92nd consecutive quarter) and underpins the stock's defensive appeal.
