IT stocks faced a significant downturn following Infosys's announcement of a reduced revenue growth outlook for FY27, now projected at 1.5%-3.5%, down from the previous 3.0%-3.5%. The Nifty IT index tumbled 5.35% to 28,512.95, with major players like Infosys, Mphasis, and Coforge seeing declines of 6.92%, 6.02%, and 5.98%, respectively. The total contract value (TCV) for large deals also saw a drop to $3.2 billion in Q4 FY26 from $4.8 billion in Q3 FY26, highlighting a slowdown in deal momentum and pipeline visibility. This decline reflects a broader trend of cautious spending among clients in key markets such as the US and Europe, compounded by rising competition from artificial intelligence developments. Geopolitical tensions in West Asia have further contributed to uncertainty in global markets, negatively impacting investor confidence.
