Tech Watch: Nifty IT Rebounds, Bulls Take Charge
Key Takeaways:Nifty IT Outperformance – Indian tech stocks are delivering their best relative performance to Nifty 50 this year as the price ratio rebounds from a multi-year support level.
June Quarter Earnings Tailwind – Analysts expect a solid earnings season ahead for software exporters, with strong seasonal trends and improving fundamentals.
Broader Market Boost – FMCG margins are set to rise due to falling agri-inflation, while electricity futures add depth to India's evolving derivatives market.
Indian tech stocks are once again grabbing attention, with the Nifty IT Index staging a sharp rebound against the broader Nifty 50. The ratio between the two has bounced off a key 1.4x support level, signaling further upside, according to JM Financial.
This resurgence is underpinned by optimism around the upcoming June-quarter earnings. With seasonality working in their favor and cost bases stabilized, software exporters are poised to shine.
Broader market sentiment also remains constructive. Analysts at Antique Stock Broking expect falling agricultural inflation to boost margins for top FMCG names like Hindustan Unilever and Nestle India, easing raw material pressures that have weighed on the sector.
Meanwhile, the NSE and MCX are gearing up to launch monthly electricity futures, a move set to benefit power producers and large consumers by giving them new tools for price risk management. It’s a clear sign of deepening financial infrastructure as India’s energy market matures.
However, not all sectors are riding high. Paper stocks continue to struggle amid erratic demand and cost pressures, with BOB Capital projecting flat margins for the quarter. Names like JK Paper and Huhtamaki India have underperformed sharply YTD.
