TCS Q3 Q3 FY26 Results: What are the expectations?
The December quarter is generally considered to be the weakest for Indian IT companies because of the high number of holidays during this period. But market experts have different opinions regarding TCS. According to ET NOW poll, TCS may show stable performance in this quarter. It is estimated that Net Profit (PAT) may see a growth of 7.7% QoQ and may reach approximately ₹13,000 crore. The company’s net profit in the last quarter was ₹12,075 crore.
The company’s revenue growth is expected to be modest. Total revenue for the quarter is estimated to be around ₹66,857 crore, which is slightly higher than ₹65,799 crore in the previous quarter. Revenue in dollar terms is likely to remain flat at around USD 7.47 billion.
Growth in constant currency is expected to be very low, around 0.5%.
EBIT is likely to be around ₹16,743 crore in the quarter, slightly higher than ₹16,565 crore in the previous quarter. EBIT margin is likely to decline slightly and is estimated at 25%.
The main reasons for pressure on margins are: increase in employee salaries, temporary furloughs, additional expenses related to extension of BSNL deal. The total contract value (TCV) of the company is estimated at USD 10–11 billion.
US-based company ListEngage was acquired by TCS in October 2025 in this quarter, but its contribution is considered to be only about 0.1%. ListEngage specializes in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, CRM, Data Cloud, and AI advisory services.
TCS’s revenue may remain stable to modest growth. Growth in constant currency is likely to be around 0.5-0.6%. There will be mild pressure on margins due to salary hike as its impact was seen only for one month in the last quarter.
