Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. reported a 29% sequential rise in its net profit for the fourth quarter of FY26, according to an exchange filing on Thursday.
The IT giant registered its consolidated bottom-line at Rs 13,720 crore for quarter ended March 31, 2026. In the previous quarter its net profit stood at Rs 10,657 crore. Analysts on Bloomberg had estimated a net profit of Rs 13,581 crore.
Revenue rose 5.5% to Rs 70,698 crore from Rs 67,087 crore, beating analysts' estimate of Rs 67,087 crore.
Earnings before interest and taxes rose 6% to Rs 17,870 crore, up 6% from Rs 16,889 crore in Q3, FY26. Whereas EBIT margin stood at 25.3%, compared to 25.2% in the third quarter.
The Tata-group IT company has also announced a final dividend of Rs 31 per share for the financial year 2025-26 on Thursday, rewarding shareholders following the release of its fourth-quarter financial results.
The payout brings the total dividend distributed for the fiscal year to Rs 110 per share. Analysts had largely anticipated a final declaration of about Rs 40 per share to align with Bloomberg-tracked full-year projections of Rs 120 per share, meaning the final dividend is lower than analyst estimates. The company has disbursed Rs 39,571 crore in the form of dividends in fiscal 2026.
The IT behemoth TVC performance was among the highest TCV ever; with 3 mega deals for the quarter and 5 mega deals for the year, it highlighted in its press release. TVC stood at $40.7 billion for FY26 and at $12 billion for the quarter under review.
Commenting on the performance, K Krithivasan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, said “We are pleased to report the third consecutive quarter of sequential growth, supported by three mega deals and a $12 billion TCV, underscoring the strength of our five pillar strategy and our AI led positioning across services."
He added that it was equally encouraging too see that the growth momentum was broad based across major markets and most industries.
"While the macro-economic headwinds continue, we see sustained customer conviction in technology investments, which positions us well for the opportunities ahead," the CEO underlined.
