Indian IT Sector Faces Soft Q1 Amid AI Disruption and Macroeconomic Challenges
India's IT sector is facing a subdued start to FY27, with shares of major firms like Infosys and Wipro declining amid concerns over AI disruption, weak earnings, and macroeconomic uncertainties including geopolitical tensions and US interest rate expectations. Analysts expect muted revenue growth and cautious client spending in Q1, with some companies likely to revise guidance downward. Despite near-term challenges, long-term opportunities from AI-driven market expansion are anticipated. A recent rebound in IT stocks reflects investor hopes for recovery amid easing inflation risks.
