Volatility Marks TCS Stock Movement After Q4 Earnings Announcement
New Delhi, April 11 – Shares of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) remained largely flat on Friday morning following the company’s announcement of a 1.7% drop in its net profit for the March quarter. The dip in earnings came primarily due to a contraction in operating margins.
Despite opening positively, the stock experienced volatility in early trading. On the BSE, it touched an intraday high of ₹3,298.40—up 1.61%—before slipping 1% to ₹3,212.10. It later recovered marginally to trade at ₹3,243.30, down 0.09%. On the NSE, TCS shares mirrored this pattern, hitting a high of ₹3,298.95 and a low of ₹3,210.60, eventually settling flat.
Q4 Results: Margins Pressured, Profit Down
On Thursday, TCS reported a net profit of ₹12,224 crore for the March quarter, marking a 1.7% year-on-year decline. The results reflected pressure from margin contraction amid ongoing business headwinds.
In a significant move, TCS also announced the deferral of wage hikes for its 6.07 lakh-strong workforce, citing uncertainty linked to tariff challenges in the global IT landscape.
FY25 Performance and Outlook
For the full fiscal year FY25, TCS recorded a net profit of ₹48,553 crore, reflecting a 4.2% growth. Revenue for the year stood at ₹2.55 lakh crore, a 6% increase, crossing the USD 30 billion mark.
Managing Director and CEO K Krithivasan expressed cautious optimism for the coming fiscal, stating that the company expects FY26 to outperform FY25 in terms of revenue. However, he acknowledged persistent market challenges that could impact near-term growth momentum.
