IT stocks surge despite US immigration curbs
Tata Consultancy moved higher.
· ET Stocks, Economic Times Markets
On Friday, Indian IT stocks experienced an impressive surge, spearheaded by a remarkable 4.2% jump in Tata Consultancy Services shares. This unexpected rally took analysts by surprise, as it unfolded amidst ongoing concerns surrounding US regulations impacting technology firms.
The analysis
Tata Consultancy reported movement of 4.2%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +3.9% on the day at ₹2,156.00, and has returned +5.2% over three months. It sits 35% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The it sector has moved +1.9% over the same period, so Tata Consultancy is running 3.3 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.
