Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
TCS reported consolidated revenue of ₹67,087 crore for Q3 FY26, up about 4.9% year-on-year from ₹63,973 crore. Nine-month revenue rose to ₹1,96,323 crore versus ₹1,90,845 crore last year. However, net profit for the quarter fell roughly 13.8% YoY to ₹10,720 crore, dragged by three large exceptional items: ₹2,128 crore for the new Labour Codes, ₹1,010 crore as a provision for the CSC legal claim in the US, and ₹253 crore in restructuring expenses. The board declared a third interim dividend of ₹11 per share along with a special dividend of ₹46 per share (total ₹57), with a record date of January 17, 2026 and payment on February 3, 2026. TCS also completed the ListEngage acquisition ($69M) and signed a deal to buy Coastal Cloud for $700M.
Strong revenue growth was overshadowed by heavy one-time charges, pushing Q3 profit down meaningfully and squeezing operating margins. The generous dividend payout (₹57/share) signals strong cash returns to shareholders, but the CSC lawsuit provision and labour-code impact are near-term overhangs on profitability.
