The board meeting on October 8, 2026, will consider the declaration of a second interim dividend to equity shareholders, as reported by Live Mint. According to the company's BSE filing, the second interim dividend, if declared, shall be paid to equity shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members or in the records of the Depositories as beneficial owners of the shares as on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. This date serves as the record date fixed for this purpose, determining which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend payout. The IT major, which is a constituent of the BSE Sensex, has a market capitalisation of ₹7,59,382.30 crore.
Latest analyst estimates reveal TCS is expected to report a 13% sequential rise in net PAT in Q2 FY27, significantly higher than previous projections of 3.27% growth. According to Business Standard, TCS could report up to 13% sequential rise in net PAT with revenue in dollar terms expected to rise 0.5% QoQ to $7,662 million from $7,624 million in the preceding quarter. Revenue in rupee terms is projected to increase 11.1% YoY to ₹73,081 crore in constant currency terms, with EBIT margins expected to expand by 20 basis points QoQ to 24.2% due to reversal in wage hike impacts. Multiple brokerages including Nuvama Research, HDFC Securities, and JM Financial have revised their estimates upward, with deal wins expected at USD 8-10 billion and solid performance anticipated despite geopolitical uncertainties.
TCS has maintained a shareholder-friendly dividend policy with recent significant payouts.
