AI revenue is surging at Indian IT firms, but how much is adding to growth?
Tata Consultancy moved higher.
· Business Today Mkts
TCS, HCLTech and other IT firms are reporting sharp growth in AI businesses, but modest overall revenue growth raises questions over whether AI is generating fresh demand or cannibalising traditional IT services.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is +1.0% on the day at ₹2,502.60, and has returned +2.9% over three months. It sits 25% below its 52-week high. The it sector has moved -3.1% over the same period, so Tata Consultancy is running 6.0 points ahead of its peers.
For Tata Consultancy, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the it peer set alongside it.
