Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has reported its financial results for the second quarter of the financial year 2026-27, recording healthy expansions across both top-line revenue and bottom-line profit. The company registered a 15 percent year-on-year growth in net profit, which climbed to Rs 13,884 crore for the quarter ended September. Total revenue also rose 11.22 percent to reach Rs 73,188 crore. Alongside the quarterly scorecard, the board declared a second interim dividend of Rs 12 per equity share for eligible investors.
Net Profit Beats Market Expectations
During the July to September period, net profit reached Rs 13,884 crore, representing a 15 percent jump compared to the corresponding period of the previous financial year. This bottom-line performance surpassed street expectations, which had penciled in a net profit figure near Rs 13,788 crore. The better-than-expected profitability comes as an encouraging indicator for market participants tracking the stock. Nevertheless, certain underlying operational metrics did not completely align with broader street projections.
Revenue Advances to Rs 73,188 Crore
Revenue from operations for the September quarter expanded by 11.22 percent to Rs 73,188 crore, up from Rs 65,799 crore in the same quarter a year earlier. This top-line figure came in above the street estimate of Rs 73,026 crore. On the operational efficiency front, operating profit measured as EBIT stood at Rs 17,553 crore for the quarter, trailing the market expectation of Rs 17,805 crore.
Second Interim Dividend of Rs 12 Declared
The board of directors approved a second interim dividend of Rs 12 per equity share having a face value of Re 1 for the financial year 2026-27. Investors holding the stock on the designated record date will receive this payout. The company has fixed 14 October 2026 as the record date, with dividend disbursements scheduled to take place on 30 October 2026. This payout follows an earlier first interim dividend of Rs 12 per share declared in July 2026.
Headcount Surpasses 5.98 Lakh
The total employee base continued its upward trajectory, crossing 5.98 lakh people by the end of the September quarter. Upskilling and workforce development remained central priorities during the period. Total learning hours logged by employees jumped by 17 percent to reach 1.71 crore hours during the three-month span, reflecting ongoing commitments to align talent capabilities with evolving enterprise technologies and customer demands.
