Q1FY27 results: 140+ companies, key dates July

The Q1 earnings season is set to gather pace next week, with more than 140 companies scheduled to announce their April to June quarter results. The lineup spans IT services, banking, insurance, manufacturing and capital goods, making the coming week one of the busiest stretches of the season.

Investors will be tracking results from heavyweight names such as Reliance Industries, HCLTech, Wipro and Tech Mahindra, along with key financial names including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank. The same calendar also includes companies like BHEL, Polycab India, JSW Steel, Jio Financial Services, HDFC Life, Tata Technologies and Tata Elxsi.

Why next week is a key earnings window

The clustering of results across sectors means market attention may shift rapidly between IT commentary, bank asset quality metrics, and demand signals from industrial and consumer-facing companies. A separate note in the provided context also flags that June quarter earnings are seen to be weaker than expected amid an uncertain global environment and a slowdown in discretionary spending by clients.

At the same time, the season began with TCS reporting what was described as positive results, which was cited as signalling an improved business environment. Against that backdrop, management commentary from other large companies will be closely tracked for cues on demand stability, deal momentum, and cost pressures.

Key companies announcing Q1 results next week

Below is the schedule of prominent announcements listed for the week.

A broader list shows the breadth of reporting

The full list included several additional names, with a detailed slate provided for certain dates. For example, the July 13 list includes Bajaj Consumer Care, HCL Technologies, Nuvoco Vistas Corporation and ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company, among others.

For July 16, the list includes Wipro, Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL), ITC Hotels, Jio Financial Services, Polycab India, 360 ONE WAM, Alok Industries, Borosil Renewables, Ceat, D. B. Corp, Hathway Cable & Datacom, Nelco, Newgen Software Technologies, Piramal Finance, PNB Gilts and South Indian Bank, among others.

This spread matters because it places IT services guidance, financial sector performance, and manufacturing activity in the same news cycle, often influencing how investors interpret sector-level trends.

HCLTech result in focus: net profit and revenue snapshot

Within the same broader context, HCL Technologies reported a year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit for the first quarter of FY26. The company reported consolidated net profit of Rs 3,843 crore, versus Rs 4,257 crore in the year-ago period.

Revenue from operations rose to Rs 30,349 crore, compared with Rs 28,057 crore in the same quarter of FY25, as cited in the provided text. The company also reported that the quarter was impacted by higher expenses and a one-time hit from a client bankruptcy.

The CEO and MD, C Vijayakumar, said the operating margin came at 16.3%, and that it was impacted by lower utilisation and additional Gen AI and GTM investments, according to the earnings-call commentary included.

What HCLTech said about demand and guidance

HCLTech cited a stable demand environment and expectations of stronger deal bookings in the coming quarters, and raised the lower end of its revenue growth outlook. The company revised its constant currency revenue growth guidance for FY26 to 3% to 5%, from 2% to 5% earlier.

The context also includes a breakdown stating that growth was led by technology and services (13.7%), telecom and media (13%), retail and CPG (8.2%), and financial services (6.8%).

Dividend details and market reaction for HCLTech

The board declared an interim dividend of Rs 12 per share for FY26. The record date is stated as July 18, 2025, and the payment date as July 28, 2025.

HCL Technologies quarterly financial table (as provided)

The provided quarterly table is presented as “All figures in crores except per share values”, with comparison noted on a QoQ basis.

What to watch across sectors as results come in

For IT companies, the context notes that investors will focus on digital services growth, deal wins, and margin outlook. Wipro’s commentary on order book, digital services growth, and deal pipeline is expected to be compared against peers.

For banks, the concentration of results on July 18 from HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank means investors will get a rapid read-through on the sector within a single session.

For diversified groups and cyclicals, the calendar includes Reliance Industries and JSW Steel, alongside industrial and consumer-linked names such as BHEL, Polycab India and Havells. Their updates will add to the picture on demand conditions across infrastructure, manufacturing, and consumption-linked segments.

Market impact: why the calendar can move stocks quickly

A heavy earnings week can increase stock-specific volatility as results and guidance are released close together, and investors rotate attention across sectors. The HCLTech example in the provided text shows immediate price action, with the stock closing down 1.04% at Rs 1,619.95 on the BSE on the day results were announced after market hours.

And because several large-cap names are clustered on the same dates, market participants often compare outcomes across peers, especially in IT services and banking where guidance and commentary can shift sentiment quickly.

Conclusion

With more than 140 companies set to report, next week’s Q1 results calendar brings a dense run of updates from IT, banking, insurance and industrials. Key dates include July 13 for HCLTech, July 17 for Reliance Industries, and July 18 for India’s major private banks, with investors set to track reported numbers alongside management commentary on demand, margins, and outlook.
