From the call for July to September 2026, 15 October 2026.

When Tata Communications reports October to December 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Digital portfolio progress toward operating profit break-even - check whether the improvement continues in the next reported quarter.

Tata Communications is on one of our India lists: Small & mid cap stocks.

Tata Communications Ltd earned ₹336 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +83.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹997 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 58.4% a year on average. That is 5.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹183 Cr.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹997 Cr (−45.7% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +9.6% on a year earlier and the margin moved +2.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +7.8% and revenue +9.1%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace.

Tata Communications Ltd reported ₹6,688 Cr of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +9.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 3.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹24,803 Cr.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to ₹26,014 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹24,803 Cr, +7.3% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +9.1% on average, against 3.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +9.1%, against +7.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −34.0%, against +8.4% a year (rolling over).

Tata Communications Ltd's operating margin was 21.0% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 2.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 11.0% and 25.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every ₹100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +2.0 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 278% of Tata Communications Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹4,479 Cr of operating cash against ₹997 Cr of profit. After ₹4,139 Cr of spending on assets, ₹340 Cr was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why 278% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle stayed about the same between FY21 and FY26, so the cash follows profit, not the cycle.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 1.6× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Tata Communications Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 61 days in FY26, up from 56 days in FY21. It spent ₹12,572 Cr on assets over the last 3 years.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

At FY26 sales of ₹24,803 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹68.0 Cr, so roughly ₹4,145 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

Spending on assets: ₹12,572 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹7,889 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹850 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Tata Communications Ltd's P/E is 41.3×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 66% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 34.9×, over 11 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee of yearly profit.

The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Sep 2026 add up to ₹38.73.
