Business Jan 12, 2026

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) just posted a 14% drop in net profit for Q3 FY26, coming in at ₹10,657 crore—quite a bit lower than what analysts were hoping for.
On the bright side, revenue still grew by 5% to ₹67,087 crore.
To sweeten things for investors, TCS announced a ₹57 per share dividend.

But zooming out, the stock is down over 24% over the past year.
Even so, with a massive market cap of ₹11.75 lakh crore, TCS remains a heavyweight in India's IT scene despite recent bumps.
