- October 30
The analysis
Against that, the stock is +2.3% on the day at ₹1,436.80, and has returned +4.4% over three months. It sits 17% below its 52-week high. The it sector has moved -2.3% over the same period, so HCL Technologies is running 6.7 points ahead of its peers.
This is an Input cost / crude event. India imports most of its crude, so input costs pass through to margins downstream and to the rupee. Producers and consumers of the same input move in opposite directions. On the day the stock is +2.3%, so the market took notice.
For HCL Technologies, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the it peer set alongside it.
