Key Questions Answered
Indian IT stocks are rallying due to stronger-than-expected Q2 results, improving sentiment around AI-led services demand, and a broader reassessment of global AI trade risks. Investors are rotating back into established technology services providers as high valuations in AI infrastructure face scrutiny.
TCS reported a 15% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 13,884 crore for the second quarter of FY27. Its revenue grew 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in constant currency terms, alongside an operating margin of 24% and positive growth across international markets.
A weaker rupee against the US dollar can increase the rupee value of dollar-denominated revenue, providing potential support to operating margins. However, the exact benefit varies by company depending on individual cost structures, hedging positions, and expense mix.
