TCS Share Price: Tata Group's Tech Giant To Declare Q2 Results, Dividends Today; What Should Investors Expect?

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares traded higher on Thursday ahead of its Q2FY27 earnings and dividend announcement. TCS is expected to report moderate growth in constant currency revenue, while EBIT margins could expand. However, sequentially, both growths are likely to be single-digit amidst geopolitical crises. Also, the slowdown in the weakness of the Indian rupee will impact as well.

TCS Share Price

At the time of writing, TCS stock traded at Rs 2108.50 apiece on BSE, up by 1.2%. The stock touched an intraday high of Rs 2,142 apiece in the early hours of Thursday.

Its market cap stood at Rs 7,62,873.75 crore.

TCS reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 13,349 crore in Q1FY27, registering a growth of 5% YoY compared to Rs 12,760 crore profit in the same quarter a year ago. However, Q1 PAT declined by 3% from net profit of Rs 13,718 crore in Q4FY26. While consolidated revenue from the operations stood at Rs 72,275 crore in Q1FY27, which is higher by 14% from revenue of Rs 63,437 crore in Q1FY26 and up by 2.2% from Rs 70,698 crore in Q4FY26.

For TCS Q2FY27, the tailwind is operational efficiencies and the headwind is investments in business.

TCS Q2 Results Preview:

"We expect a 0.5% qoq USD revenue growth after factoring in 20bps cross-currency headwinds. EBIT margin is likely to expand by 50bps qoq," said analysts at Emkay Global in a note.

Key factors to watch out as per the analysts are:

• Anticipated impact of furloughs in 3Q and possibility of growth uptick and discretionary spending recovery in 2H

• Deal intake and deal pipeline, including AI/Gen AI

• Revenue contribution from the BSNL contract

• Demand trends in key verticals, including BFSI, Retail, Hi Tech, Manufacturing, and Communications

• Pricing environment

• Margin outlook

• Update on HyperVault business

• M&A focus areas

• Management commentary on likely revenue deflation from AI and potential growth in new AI-related services, along with the demand environment across geographies

• Tweaking in talent hiring plan with progress in AI

• Progress on partnerships with major tech companies in the AI ecosystem

Accordingly, Emkay expects revenue growth in Indian rupee terms in the range of 11.3% YoY and 1.3% QoQ. EBITDA is expected to record growth of 7% YoY and 3.6% QoQ. EBITDA margins may contract by 282 basis points YoY but expand 54 basis points QoQ. PAT is likely to slip by 0.7% QoQ but rise 6.6% YoY. Earnings per share could be around Rs 38 in Q2FY27.
