Will downgrade-hit IT stocks weather the Q4 earnings storm? The test begins today

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] India’s tech titans, once the darlings of Dalal Street, are now limping into the Q4 results season bruised, battered, and bracing for more pain. With the Nifty IT index already down almost 30% from its peak, the sector is knee-deep in a bear market. And the bears are only getting hungrier. The March quarter results season begins today with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) kicking things off, but the prelude to the earnings symphony has been anything but melodious, thanks to Trump’s tariff tantrums. Brokerages have gone on a downgrade spree, slashing target prices, cutting revenue estimates, and issuing cautious guidance—a loud signal that Q4 will likely be marred by seasonal weakness, a gloomy Europe, and growing clouds over US demand. “We expect largecaps to have a subdued quarter with all companies likely posting a sequential drop in revenues,” Nomura said, adding that it expects QoQ (quarter-on-quarter) constant currency revenue decline...

CLSA said that the duty and domestic prices in line with import parity will add to the multiple positive catalysts for the sector, such as improving demand outlook due to China stimulus hopes and a rise in capex in Eu...

LTIMindtree, Wipro, and other IT stocks crack up to 5% amid Powell's indication of slower rate cuts

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of Indian IT companies came under pressure during Monday's trading session following comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday. Powell suggested that the U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to slow down interest rate cuts in the coming months, citing persistent inflation and the need to monitor its trajectory before making further decisions. “The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates,” Powell said in a speech to business leaders in Dallas. "The strength we are currently seeing in the economy gives us the ability to approach our decisions carefully." Powell emphasized that policymakers still view inflation as being "on a sustainable path to 2%," allowing the U.S. central bank to adjust monetary policy gradually without aiming to slow down the economy.
