Infosys and TCS are set to report Q3 earnings, with modest revenue growth and margin expansion expected. Analysts await key trends in demand outlook.
What Should Investors Expect From Infosys and TCS in Q3 Results?
About Infosys and TCS
Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) are India’s two largest IT services companies, collectively accounting for a significant share of the country’s technology exports. Both firms are regarded as bellwethers for the Indian IT sector and their earnings often set the tone for the broader industry. With global macroeconomic challenges, currency fluctuations, and shifts in client spending, investors closely monitor their quarterly performance for insights into demand trends and profitability.
Infosys is expected to post sequential revenue growth of 1.8% in constant currency (CC), with EBIT margins expanding by around 50 basis points. TCS, on the other hand, is expected to see modest CC revenue growth of 0.3%, with EBIT margins likely expanding by 20 basis points. TCS will be announcing its Q3 results on September 9.
Infosys Q3 Expectations
Infosys is projected to show stronger revenue momentum than TCS on a sequential basis. The 1.8% CC revenue growth reflects resilience in client spending despite uncertainties in the US and European markets. Margin expansion of 50 basis points indicates the company’s focus on cost optimization and operational efficiency. However, the real test for Infosys lies in its deal pipeline and ability to convert large deal wins into revenue recognition over the coming quarters.
✅ Infosys’ deal wins, especially in digital transformation and cloud migration, are expected to support revenue stability and margin growth.
TCS Q3 Expectations
TCS is expected to post CC revenue growth of just 0.3% QoQ, reflecting muted demand in key verticals like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services & Insurance). The expected margin expansion of 20 basis points is smaller than Infosys, signaling challenges in managing costs against wage pressures and currency fluctuations. However, TCS continues to leverage its strong client relationships and large-scale outsourcing contracts, which provide long-term revenue visibility.
💡 TCS’ large client base ensures resilience, but muted growth reflects near-term headwinds in discretionary tech spending globally.

Sector Implications
The IT services industry continues to face headwinds due to global economic uncertainty, delayed client decision-making, and margin pressures from wage hikes. At the same time, opportunities in AI-led digital transformation, cybersecurity, and cloud migration remain supportive for long-term growth. Infosys and TCS, as industry leaders, will provide critical insights into demand recovery timelines and pricing stability.
⚠️ Margins remain sensitive to global currency fluctuations, offshore mix, and contract renegotiations, making guidance commentary crucial for investors.
