Mumbai: Domestic IT stocks extended rally for the third straight session on Tuesday, driving the Nifty IT index to its biggest single-day gain in a year. Analysts said the index's chart structure remains constructive, signalling continued positive momentum in the near term.The Nifty IT index ended 4.2% higher at 31,116.6 on Tuesday, its highest gains since May 2025. The index is up 7.6% in the past three sessions, against Nifty 50's fall of 1.8%. TCS was the top gainer on Tuesday, up 6.7%, followed by Infosys, HCL Technologies and LTM, which were up 4-6% each."Indian IT stocks continue to extend gains, supported by improving global software sentiment and growing evidence that enterprise AI adoption is expanding technology spending opportunities rather than disrupting incumbent service providers," said Kunal Bajaj, research analyst at Choice Institutional Equities.Bajaj said other factors like rupee depreciation, strong orderbook and improving outlook for discretionary tech spending, are supporting the current rally in IT stocks.131473558IT stocks look strong on technical charts too. "The Nifty IT index has formed a bullish hammer pattern on the monthly chart, signalling a trend reversal," said Ruchit Jain, vice-president, Motilal Oswal Financial Services. "Within the sector, recent moves suggest a mix of short covering in stocks such as TCS and HCL Tech, along with fresh long build-up in Infosys and Coforge over the past three sessions." Despite the recent rebound, domestic IT stocks have underperformed the broader market in 2026, with the Nifty IT index declining 17.9% so far this year against a 10.1% fall in Nifty 50.Jain expects the IT benchmark's up move to extend towards 32,000-32,100, near its April highs. According to Bajaj, tier-2 IT firms have historically gained market share during tech transitions due to their agility. "With valuation premiums cooling, we see better relative risk-reward in Coforge, Persistent Systems and Happiest Minds. Among the tier-one companies, we like Infosys and Tech Mahindra," he said.
Itโs easy to understand why so many graduates are booing commencement speakers who tell them how great AI is. They face a brutal job market, with unemployment for recent college graduates nearing recession levels, and AI is often cited as the reason they canโt find jobs or have to drastically reassess their career plans.I have a message for the class of 2026: AI is not ruining your job prospects, at least not yet. A better explanation for the tough job market may be the prevalence of WFH, not the rise of AI.131463654Two new studies, one from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and one from the London School of Economics, look at the recent rise in unemployment among young workers. The authors of the LSE study looked at 243 million new hires and 407 million online job postings from 2017 to 2025 in the US, UK, Australia and Canada. They observed a notable decline since 2022 in the hiring of new graduates. AI was presumed to be the reason, since the falloff tends to be in the sort of industries that are adopting AI.But these are also the same kinds of jobs โ reliant on computers, knowledge-intensive, white-collar โ that are most amenable to working from home. When they controlled for WFH, the authors found that the impact of AI on hiring was negligible.The study postulates that where WFH is more common, managing junior staff is more expensive. At the same time, young staffers who receive less training may be less productive than they would be otherwise, even as they mature and demand more pay. So the cost of WFH to young graduates is not just a harder job market โ it also makes it harder for young employees to get good training, supervision and mentorship, a point also made by the New York Fed study.WFH has always had a superficial appeal. At first, it seems easier and often cheaper for both employers and employees; companies can pay less if they offer more flexibility, and many staffers have commitments that keep them at home. In the long term, however, both management and workers pay a price in terms of lost training and career development of younger employees.This could get even worse as AI is more widely adopted. New hires recently out of college who work on their own may figure out how to do specific tasks (perhaps with AI assistance), but they wonโt learn much about how to manage office politics, charm clients or build networks. All these skills will be even more valuable in an AI job market, and none can be gained without coming into the office and observing senior colleagues.The new research doesnโt argue that AI will have no impact on hiring in the future, or that it is currently affecting hiring decisions. Itโs also worth noting that many firms are still hiring โ just not as much as before. There are a lot of factors that go into the health of the labor market, and if the economy worsens, the combination of AI and WFH could make it even harder for young graduates.What does seem clear is that AI is becoming a convenient villain for a lot of complaints people have about the economy. Tech executives arenโt helping by regularly declaring that AI can replace a lot of jobs. More likely, they are using AI as an excuse when they are letting people go for financial reasons. In the case of WFH, it may be easier to blame AI than to ask reluctant staff to come into the office.Iโve seen this reluctance firsthand: A few years ago I met middle-aged media executive who told me how much she loved working from home (or, often in her case, from a resort in Mexico). When I asked her about junior staffers missing out on mentoring and on-the-job training, she admitted she never would have succeeded if senior people werenโt in the office when she was coming up. But she didnโt seem too bothered by it, either.Iโve never been asked to give a commencement speech, but if for some reason I were, this would be my advice: Find a company where everyone likes going to work. Then try to get a job there โ and if you do, go into the office every day.

Shares of Netweb Technologies surged over 15% on Friday to hit their fresh 52-week high of Rs 4,680 on the NSE amid high volumes. The stock extended its gaining streak for the third session in a row, rising 21% in this period.The rally comes on the back of a ratings upgrade by CRISIL Ratings Limited. The company's Long-term rating has been upgraded to 'Crisil A+ / Stable'; while short-term rating reaffirmed to Crisil A1. Netweb offers computing solutions with fully integrated design and manufacturing capabilities. Its HCS offering comprises HPC, Private cloud and (HCI), AI systems and enterprise workstations, High performance storage (HPS) and Data Centre ServersCrisil Ratings believes NTIL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters and established relationships with clients.The rating agency has also listed a slew of factors that will likely aid its growth. Among them are sustained revenue growth to over Rs 4,000 crore, with diversification across the end users earning steady operating margin at 13-14%, leading to higher-than-expected net cash accruals. Efficient working capital management leading to moderate dependence on debt and sustenance of healthy financial risk profile and liquidity will be another trigger according to CRISIL.It has also highlighted caveats that include the likelihood of decline in revenue below Rs 2,000 crores or fall in operating margin to below 11%, could lead to lower-than-expected net cash accrual. Meanwhile large, debt-funded capex or substantial increase in the working capital requirement, thus weakening the financial risk profile and liquidity.CRISIL shares have been market laggards, falling over 8% in 2026 while extending its decline to 24% over the past 12 months.Netweb Technologies reported Q4FY26 revenue from operations at Rs 774 crore, growing 87% year-on-year. Its operating EBITDA for Q4FY26 stood at Rs 97 crore while the adjusted operating EBITDA for Q4FY26 was Rs 102 crore, up 72% YoY, with a margin of 13.2%.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
