TCS Cancels Q2 Earnings Press Conference to Honor Ratan Tata

On October 8, 2025, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT major, announced that it has cancelled its planned press conference for the second-quarter FY26 earnings, which was scheduled for October 9. According to reports, the company cited the reason for the cancellation as the coincidence of the conference date with the anniversary of Ratan Tata, the former Tata Sons chairman and an iconic figure in the Tata Group.

While the media briefing has been dropped, TCS confirmed that its analyst call, which covers financial results and management insights, will proceed as usual. This marks the second consecutive year that TCS has altered its earnings-day schedule in observance of Ratan Tata's memory, as the firm also cancelled its Q2 press meet shortly after his passing last year, though other investor-related interactions continued as planned.

Market observers noted that the move is unlikely to affect investor sentiment, as the analyst call—the primary channel for detailed financial discussion and future outlook—remains unaffected. Investors will be keenly awaiting the Q2 earnings report, as it will offer a snapshot of demand trends in the global IT landscape amid challenges such as the recent US H1-B visa fee hike. The report is expected to provide insights into the revival of discretionary tech spending, especially from the US and Europe, and how TCS is navigating ongoing headwinds in talent availability and cautious enterprise budgets.
