Executive Summary
TCS dominated the BSE IT filings with FY26 results showing modest revenue growth of 4.6% YoY (₹267,021 crore) but -2.4% in constant currency, offset by robust margin expansion (operating margin +70 bps YoY to 25%, net +80 bps to 19.8%, highest in 4 years) and record TCV of $40.7B including $12B in Q4. Annualized AI revenue exceeded $2.3B, underscoring AI-led transformation amid segment declines like Consumer Business (-2.0% YoY CC). Wipro signaled shareholder returns via proposed buyback discussion on April 15-16, 2026. Capital allocation trends favor returns with TCS's ₹31 final dividend recommendation and acquisitions like Coastal Cloud. Portfolio-level, IT sector shows margin resilience despite CC headwinds, with AI as a growth driver. Positive sentiments prevail (4/5 filings), but mixed results highlight geography/segment risks. Key implication: Buy dips on TCS for AI catalysts, monitor Wipro buyback for valuation support.
