Why IT Services Outperformed

Global Tech Tailwinds:

Nvidia’s Q2FY26 earnings smashed estimates, lifting global tech sentiment.

US PCE inflation data eased slightly, reducing near-term Fed rate cut uncertainty.

Domestic Factors:

Easing crude prices (Brent to $86.80/bbl) reduced input cost pressures.

Rupee stability helped IT exporters maintain margin momentum.

Sector-Specific News:

Digital India 2.0 initiatives boosted demand for cloud, AI, and cybersecurity services.

Large deals in banking, insurance, and retail tech upgrades supported order books.

Outlook for Coming Week (Sep 1–5, 2026)

Key Watch: US Fed policy meeting clues on September rate cut prospects.

Domestic: Q1FY27 earnings season begins mid-September — watch for deal win disclosures and margin guidance.

Risk: Global risk-off sentiment from Middle East tensions could pressure valuations.

Stocks to Monitor

TCS: ₹2,344 — strong momentum; watch for cross-above ₹2,400 for bullish confirmation.

Infosys: ₹1,507 — consolidation near key resistance; breakout potential if deal pipeline upgrades.

Tech Mahindra: ₹1,588 — new highs likely if digital revenue growth beats estimates.

Next Catalyst: TCS and Infosys earnings calls scheduled for Sep 10–12, 2026 — expect margin and deal updates to drive volatility.
