Indian IT Stocks Rally Amid Earnings Gains and AI Sector Rotation; Growth Outlook Mixed

Indian IT Stocks Rally Amid Earnings Gains and AI Sector Rotation; Growth Outlook MixedPreviousNext

Indian IT stocks rallied nearly 12% last week, marking the sharpest weekly gain in 18 years, driven by strong quarterly results from major firms and a rotation from AI hardware to traditional IT services amid concerns over AI monetization. However, analysts caution that growth remains modest due to AI-led deflation, demand uncertainties, and global economic factors like crude oil prices and foreign investor sentiment. Mutual funds have significantly reduced IT sector exposure since late 2024, reflecting ongoing concerns about AI disruption and slowing growth. Investors are advised to monitor deal momentum, earnings guidance, and broader market conditions before adjusting positions.
