The Q4 earnings season is here, and India's IT sector is sending mixed signals to investors. Here's what you need to know - fast.
Growth Visibility is Shrinking
Top IT giants like TCS and Infosys are reporting stable but not exciting numbers. The industry is projected to grow around 6–7% in 2026 Whalesbook, but that optimism comes with riders - macro headwinds, global uncertainty, and clients tightening budgets.

Margin erosion in traditional IT services due to AI-driven efficiencies could outpace gains from new AI offerings in the short term. That's a red flag for near-term EPS growth.
Valuations - Are They Justified?
