Tata Consultancy Services saw its share price tumble to ₹2,585 on February 13, 2026, marking a 44% decline from the all‑time high of ₹4,592 reached in August 2024. 

TCS Shares Fall 44% to 5-Year Low 

The price of ₹2,585 is the lowest level recorded since September 22, 2020, when the stock closed at ₹2,523.  

Market capitalisation slipped to ₹9.60 lakh crore, a multi‑year trough that is below the previous low of ₹9.77 lakh crore. The decline followed a second consecutive session of selling in the IT sector. 

AI Concerns Trigger Broad IT Sell‑off 

Investor sentiment weakened after US‑based AI start‑up Anthropic launched an AI tool aimed at corporate legal teams. The product can automate contract reviews, NDA triage, compliance workflows and legal brief preparation.  

Market participants fear that such capabilities could reshape the competitive landscape for software and IT services firms, potentially eroding profitability and market positioning.

The Nifty IT index recorded a 19% drop over the short span, while the sector lost approximately ₹5.7 lakh crore in eight trading sessions. State Bank of India overtook TCS to become India’s fourth‑largest listed company by market capitalisation.  

Dividend yields for IT services have risen to levels last seen during the global financial crisis and the Covid‑19 period.
