TCS Q1 Results: Sequential Pressures, Margins In Focus

In the last quarter (Q4 FY25), TCS clocked a net profit of rs 12,224 crore, though that came with a 1.6% dip year-on-year. Revenue stood at rs 64,479 crore. Now, as we gear up for the Q1 FY26 numbers, analysts are bracing for a mild sequential dip in both revenue and profit. Why the cautious tone? Two words: BSNL ramp-down. The scaling back of this major project, coupled with sluggish momentum in retail and manufacturing, seems to be weighing on growth. But not everything’s gloomy—BFSI continues to hold strong, offering some cushion

Nuvama notes, “We expect TCS to deliver -1.0% QoQ CC revenue growth.” Meanwhile, Kotak Institutional Equities predicts a dip in revenue to $157 million—down $57 million QoQ. Still, forex gains could come to the rescue and make the reported numbers look a bit better. So, should investors worry? Not just yet—but keep your popcorn ready
