Kotak Predicts Muted Q2 FY27 Growth for Large Indian IT Firms Amid AI Deflation
Kotak Institutional Equities forecasts a muted Q2 FY27 for India's large IT companies due to AI-driven deflation and weak demand, with growth expected to remain subdued. Mid-tier firms like Tech Mahindra are projected to outperform through market-share gains and stronger execution. AI adoption is focused on cost-cutting and productivity rather than new revenue generation, leading to pricing pressures. Profit margins for large IT firms are expected to stay stable or decline slightly, influenced by wage revision timings and competitive dynamics.
