Executive Summary
In the India BSE IT sector, TCS's Q4 FY26 results highlight a nascent recovery with 1.2% QoQ constant currency revenue growth for the third straight quarter to ₹70,698 crore, backed by $12B TCV including three mega deals and AI services at $2.3B annualized, though FY26 revenue declined 2.4% YoY to ₹267,021 crore amid mixed sentiment. Operating margins expanded impressively to 25.3% in Q4 (+10 bps QoQ) and 25% FY26 (+70 bps YoY ex-one-offs, highest in 4 years), with DSO improving to 74 days (-2 QoQ). Cyient, OFSS, and Coforge signal the onset of FY26 earnings season with board meetings on Apr 22-23 for results, dividends, and Cyient's potential buyback, plus Coforge's May 5 investor call. Portfolio-level trends show margin resilience offsetting revenue softness in IT services, with client metrics strengthening (TCS: +4 $100M+ accounts to 66, +14 $1M+ to 1,397). Key implications include watch for capital allocation signals amid neutral sentiment elsewhere, positioning sector for potential re-rating on deal momentum and efficiency gains.
