TCS shares are treading water. As of Thursday (July 10, 2025), the stock is hovering around Rs 3,386 – barely moving from yesterday. But that’s not surprising. Investors are holding their breath ahead of the IT giant’s Q1 results due later today.
With the Nifty IT index also taking a breather, TCS seems to be in wait-and-watch mode. But the bigger question is: Does this calm hide an opportunity?
Q1 preview: Low drama expected
Here’s what the Street is expecting from April-June numbers.
- Revenue: Rs 62,600-65,000 crore (up nearly 3-4 per cent YoY)
- Net profit: Rs 12,000-12,400 crore (flat to 3 per cent YoY growth)
The mood is cautious. The usual margin pressure is expected, thanks to wage hikes and weak spending from US and European clients. But forex gains might soften the blow a bit.
One red flag: The BSNL deal slowdown, which could dent telecom revenues.

What should investors do?
If you're looking for overnight fireworks, TCS may not be it. But if you want a steady compounder with a global footprint, healthy payouts and a strong balance sheet, it deserves a spot on your watchlist, especially if today’s results lead to a dip.
