HCL Tech Q4 results: Net profit at Rs 3,983 crore, better than analysts' estimates; Rs 18/share dividend announced

HCL Technologies (HCLTECH) on Thursday reported a net profit of Rs 3,983 crore for the January-March 2023 period, marking a sequential decline of 2.8 per cent but still better than analysts' estimates. 

According to Zee Business research, Noida-based HCL Tech — India's third largest IT services firm by market value after Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys — was estimated to report a net profit of Rs 3,850 crore for the final three months of the financial year gone by.

HCL Tech's quarterly numbers come days after TCS and Infosys reported weaker-than-expected set of financial results for the three-month period.

Despite robust demand, Indian IT companies are struggling to protect their margins from a rise in employee costs incurred to tackle high levels of attrition in the sector. Read more on TCS and Infosys results
