Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares climbed 5.2% to ₹2,183.90 on Friday as investors responded to rising artificial intelligence (AI) revenue
and growth in international markets following the company’s September- quarter results.
The IT services major reported annualised AI revenue of $3.1 billion for the July–September quarter, compared with $2.6 billion in the preceding quarter. This figure represents an annualised revenue run rate, not revenue generated solely during the quarter.
TCS recorded consolidated net profit of ₹13,884 crore, up 14.9% year-on-year, while revenue from operations increased 11.2% to ₹73,188 crore. However, sequential revenue growth stood at 0.5% in constant-currency terms, suggesting that overall growth in IT services demand remains limited.
International markets contributed to the quarter’s performance, with revenue from these markets rising 1.2% sequentially in constant-currency terms. Banking and financial services, manufacturing, and technology and services were among the business segments supporting growth.
The company secured new contracts worth $9.6 billion in total contract value during the quarter. Its strategic engagements included a five-year partnership with Porsche AG and an agreement to transition Best Buy’s Global Capability Centre in India into an AI Capability Centre. TCS also announced an acquisition involving MHP, its management and IT consulting subsidiary associated with Porsche; the transaction details and status should be confirmed against the official announcement before publication.
The results highlight the growing role of AI in enterprise technology spending, with businesses exploring automation, modernisation and AI-enabled operations. TCS is looking to expand its AI business alongside its traditional IT services operations.
Investors will continue to monitor whether rising AI demand and new contract wins translate into stronger overall revenue growth. The key question is whether these opportunities will translate into sustained revenue growth in the coming quarters.
