Indian IT Stocks Decline Amid Weak Q4 Results and Cautious FY27 Outlook

Indian IT stocks, including HCLTech, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro, faced significant declines following weak Q4 earnings and cautious FY27 revenue guidance. Concerns over slowing demand in key markets, delayed project rollouts, and AI-driven deflationary pressures have dampened investor sentiment. While some analysts highlight reasonable valuations and potential medium-term recovery, near-term growth visibility remains limited amid global uncertainties and cautious client spending.
