QoQ growth slowed to +1.3% in INR and +0.5% in constant currency, signaling demand softness despite strong YoY

Other expenses surged 35% YoY in Q2, indicating cost inflation that could pressure future margins

No material operational news; only a date correction and analyst call scheduling, suggesting a quiet quarter

Prior-year included ₹1,135 Cr restructuring expenses and new Labour Codes impact, inflating YoY profit growth comparability

CC growth of only +0.5% QoQ suggests a sharp deceleration from headline YoY, potentially indicating demand fatigue

Other expenses grew 35% YoY, outpacing revenue growth (11.2%), which could compress margins if not offset by efficiency gains

One-time ₹668 Cr legal settlement in Q2 FY26 (vs. none prior year) indicates potential legal/regulatory exposure

YoY profit growth of 14.9% is flattered by prior-year restructuring costs (₹1,135 Cr) and Labour Code impacts, masking underlying performance

No financial updates in filings; only administrative corrections, raising questions about growth momentum

Partnership with Anthropic lacks any quantified revenue or margin impact, making it difficult to assess materiality

AI solutions are deployed at scale but no financial metrics disclosed, so revenue contribution remains unverified

TCS's other expenses grew 35% YoY and employee costs rose 8.5%, indicating sector-wide cost pressures that could impact margins if not managed
