Pricing pressure, geopolitical risks to weigh on India IT growth in Q2FY27: Report
- New Delhi-based Systematix Institutional Equities reports India's IT-services sector faces muted Q2FY27 growth, with Tier-I companies expected to post organic QoQ revenue growth between-1.5% and 2.0% amid pricing pressure and geopolitical headwinds.
- The Nifty IT index has declined about 30% over the past year, reflecting weak demand and AI-led deflationary pressures that have pushed valuations of most IT-services stocks to multi-year lows.
- Mid-Cap IT-services companies are expected to continue outperforming their larger peers, while growth in BFSI, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors provides support against ongoing competitive pressures.
- Margins at large IT-services firms should remain stable as cost efficiencies and currency tailwinds partly offset pricing pressure, though profitability may remain under pressure due to surging investment needs.
- Limited downside to valuations exists from Current levels, as healthy cash generation, deal wins, and Lower AI token costs could create significant opportunities for leading IT-services firms despite muted growth.
