The Indian IT sector is bracing for Q4 earnings season amid significant uncertainty, with the Nifty IT index down 23% year-to-date due to fears of AI disruption and macroeconomic challenges. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is set to kick off the earnings announcements on April 9, followed by Wipro, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, and Infosys. Analysts from Motilal Oswal Financial Services predict TCS will report ₹69,600 crore in revenue, reflecting an 8% year-on-year increase, and a net profit of ₹13,800 crore, up 12.1% year-on-year. However, the focus is shifting from quarterly results to future guidance, with expectations that TCS will provide insights on demand outlook and discretionary spending for FY27. Brokerages remain selective, favoring HCL Tech and Tech Mahindra for their growth potential in a volatile environment. The upcoming earnings reports will be closely monitored for indications of how companies are managing AI-related challenges and overall demand stability.
