Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

TCS dividend yield is about 5.3% on trailing dividends of Rs 111 a share and a price near Rs 2,099, and the Q2 FY27 second interim dividend amount is due today, 8 October, after market hours, with the record date already fixed as Wednesday, 14 October. The yield has risen from about 3.4% at the start of the year to above 5% mainly because the share price has fallen about 35%, not because the payout has grown, which is why some analysts call a 5% yield a sign of stock decline rather than a reason to buy. The company paid Rs 12 as the first interim dividend for FY27, Rs 11 as last year’s second interim dividend and Rs 110 for FY26 including a Rs 46 special dividend, and history shows the October interim rising each year from Rs 7 in 2021. The payout is large against annualised profit of about Rs 53,400 crore, so the sustainability of the TCS dividend yield depends on how well TCS adapts to AI-led pricing pressure and returns to growth.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

TCS dividend yield matters more this year because the stock is the biggest drag on the IT index and income investors have been drawn to its payout. The board will consider the second interim dividend with the Q2 results, which are due after market hours with a 7 pm earnings call.<\/p>\n
