On the reaction day the stock moved 3.9 pts more than Nifty Midcap 150 and 2.7 pts more than its Telecom - Cellular & Fixed line services peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Tata Communications reported consolidated income from operations of ₹24,803 crore for FY 2025-26, up 7.3% from ₹23,109 crore in the prior year, driven by growth in Data Services segment (₹21,441 crore, +9.5% YoY). Consolidated PAT declined sharply to ₹997 crore from ₹1,837 crore in the prior year, mainly because FY 2024-25 included large exceptional gains of ₹691 crore from property sales, while FY 2025-26 had net exceptional gains of only ₹98 crore. Excluding exceptional items, underlying business performance improved with operating margin expanding from 8.4% to 9.5%. The Board recommended a dividend of ₹17.50 per share (down from ₹25 per share). Statutory auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The company also announced appointment of Deloitte as new statutory auditor from FY 2027-28.
PAT decline of 46% YoY is primarily due to non-recurrence of prior year exceptional gains from property sales. Excluding these, operating performance improved with margin expansion. The dividend reduction may disappoint income-focused investors. The significant related party transaction (sale of Chennai property to associate) warrants attention.
