HCL Technologies declared Q3 FY26 (Dec 2025) consolidated revenue of Rs. 33,872 crores, up 13.3% year-on-year from Rs. 29,890 crores. Net profit for the quarter fell 11% YoY to Rs. 4,082 crores, hit by a one-time charge of Rs. 956 crores from the new Indian Labour Codes. For 9M FY26, revenue grew to Rs. 96,163 crores with net profit of Rs. 12,162 crores. The Board declared an interim dividend of Rs. 12 per share with record date Jan 16, 2026 and payment on Jan 27, 2026. HCL also announced two acquisitions: HPE's Telco Solutions business for $160 million and Jaspersoft from Cloud Software Group for $240 million, both expected to close in six months.
The dividend payout is unchanged from the prior quarter, signaling consistency for income investors. However, net profit declined YoY due to the one-off Labour Codes charge, while the two acquisitions worth a combined $400 million point to an aggressive inorganic growth push that could pressure margins short-term but strengthen the engineering and software portfolio.
