Infosys, Coforge, Wipro to TCS: IT Stocks Bounce Despite Weak Indian Market Today | Stock Market Today

Market Performance

On Friday, February 27, Information Technology (IT) stocks staged a notable rebound even as the broader Indian stock market showed weakness. The Nifty IT index climbed as much as 2.45%, marking its third consecutive day of gains, rising 4.16% over the past three sessions.

Meanwhile, benchmark indices struggled to maintain positive momentum. The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 were both down around 0.5%, highlighting a sharp contrast between the IT sector and the wider market.

IT Sector Highlights

The IT sector’s rally was broad-based with almost all key players trading in the green. The top contributors to the Nifty IT gains included:

• Mphasis, LTI Mindtree, Infosys, Coforge, and Tech Mahindra – each gained over 1%.
• HCL Technologies, Wipro, and TCS – also saw moderate upward movement.

Despite the rebound, IT stocks have faced a challenging month. The Nifty IT index has dropped nearly 20% so far in February, reflecting investor caution amid AI-led disruptions and changing global tech dynamics.
