TCS Q2 FY26 Results: Profit Up 1%, ₹11 Dividend Declared

India’s largest IT services company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has reported a modest 1% rise in profit for the second quarter of the financial year 2025-26 (Q2 FY26). The Mumbai-headquartered firm posted a net profit of ₹12,075 crore, compared to ₹11,960 crore in the same period last year.

The company’s revenue also saw steady growth, rising 5% year-on-year to ₹61,450 crore. TCS attributed this performance to consistent demand in areas such as cloud services, artificial intelligence solutions, and digital transformation projects, despite some pressure in key global markets.

Alongside its results, TCS announced an interim dividend of ₹11 per share for its shareholders. This means that investors will receive ₹11 for each share they hold, with the company setting 19 October 2025 as the record date. The move reflects TCS’s confidence in its cash position and commitment to rewarding long-term investors.

From a broader perspective, analysts say the numbers highlight both resilience and caution. The growth in profit is smaller than in previous years, possibly reflecting challenges like delayed spending by overseas clients and economic uncertainties in the US and Europe. However, TCS’s focus on emerging technologies could help it maintain steady momentum in the coming quarters.

For India’s IT industry, TCS’s results act as an important indicator of sector health. While growth may have slowed compared to the rapid expansions seen in earlier years, stable revenues and sustained dividends suggest the industry remains strong and capable of weathering global challenges.
