IT Stocks Near 52-Week Lows Ahead of Earnings
Several technology company shares fell sharply on Tuesday.
Infosys, Wipro, KPIT Technologies and Tata Elxsi reached their lowest prices in a year.
This happened before companies were expected to report their September 2026 quarter results.
The Nifty IT index fell 11% during September.
The broader Nifty 50 index fell by 6% over the same period.
Analysts said companies are facing weaker global growth and high interest rates.
These conditions have caused some clients to postpone optional technology spending.
Analysts are therefore favoring companies whose future earnings appear more predictable.
Infosys, Wipro, KPIT Technologies and Tata Elxsi recorded 52-week lows on the NSE.
The stocks came under pressure ahead of September 2026 quarter, or Q2FY26, earnings.
The Nifty IT index fell 11% in September, compared with a 6% decline in the Nifty 50.
IRFC, ACC, Ambuja Cements and ITC also traded near their 52-week lows.
Slowing global growth and high interest rates have prompted clients to delay discretionary technology spending.
