TCS: In a fresh update that has drawn the attention of investors and IT industry watchers alike, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest software exporter, has set the date for its much awaited Q2 results of FY26. The company confirmed on Monday, September 22, 2025, that its Board of Directors will meet on Thursday, October 9, 2025, to review and approve the financial results for the July September quarter of the current fiscal year.
This board meeting will not only reveal TCS’s consolidated and standalone performance for Q2 but also decide on the declaration of the second interim dividend for FY26.
Dividend Record Date Fixed
TCS informed in its stock exchange filing that if the dividend is approved, Wednesday, October 15, 2025, will serve as the record date. This means all equity shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members or as beneficial owners in depositories by that date will be eligible to receive the payout.
For investors, this essentially signals that shares purchased up to a day before the record date will qualify for the dividend benefit. Earlier in FY26, TCS had rewarded shareholders with an interim dividend of Rs11 per share following its Q1 results. The final amount of the second interim dividend, however, will only be revealed on October 9 when the board makes its decision.
Market Reaction and Share Price Trend
The announcement of the Q2 results date and record date came after trading hours on September 22. Earlier that day, TCS shares had closed lower by 3.02% at Rs3,074.05 on the BSE, compared to the previous close of Rs3,169.85.
Over the last five years, TCS stock has delivered more than 26% returns to long-term investors. However, the recent trend has been less encouraging, with shares falling by over 27% in the Indian stock market in the past year. The stock has also seen significant fluctuations, hitting a 52-week high of Rs4,494 on December 10, 2024, before dropping to a 52 week low of Rs2,992.05 on August 4, 2025.
Despite the volatility, the company continues to hold a massive market capitalisation, standing at over Rs11.12 lakh crore as of September 22, 2025.
How TCS Performed in Q1 FY26
Looking back at its previous quarter, TCS reported a 4.38% rise in consolidated net profit, posting Rs12,760 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to Rs12,224 crore in the same quarter last year. This steady growth reflects the IT giant’s ability to maintain resilience even amid a volatile global economic and demand environment.
What Lies Ahead
All eyes are now on October 9, 2025, when the company will reveal its latest earnings and dividend decision. For investors, the outcome could set the tone for the stock’s short-term momentum, while analysts will closely examine the results to gauge the IT sector’s demand outlook globally.
