TCS reported consolidated revenue of INR 67,087 crore for Q3 FY26, up 4.9% year-on-year from INR 63,973 crore, while nine-month revenue grew to INR 1,96,323 crore. Net profit for the quarter fell sharply to INR 10,720 crore from INR 12,444 crore a year ago, weighed down by exceptional items of INR 3,391 crore including restructuring costs, a INR 2,128 crore impact from new Labour Codes, and a INR 1,010 crore provision towards the CSC legal claim in the US. Operating income (before other income) dropped to INR 12,960 crore from INR 15,423 crore, indicating significant margin pressure. The Board declared a third interim dividend of INR 11 per share along with a special dividend of INR 46 per share, totaling INR 57 per share for the quarter, with payment scheduled for February 3, 2026. The statutory auditor B S R & Co. LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both standalone and consolidated results.
The combination of a profit decline, margin compression, and large one-time charges will likely weigh on near-term investor sentiment, though the generous special dividend signals confidence in cash generation and rewards shareholders. The CSC legal case and Labour Code provisions remain key watch points for future quarters.
