What do consultants say?
They say the IT sector could also be impacted not directly – a results of slower GDP progress within the US.
This is as a result of Indian IT corporations derive almost 70 per cent of their export income from the US, as per Indian Express.
Financial Express quoted worldwide brokerage home Bernstein as taking an underweight place on
IT.
Bernstein mentioned the
tariffs can have vital “inflationary impact on the US, leading to depressed demand and increased chances of a recession there.”
“We expect a sequential revenue decline for all large Indian IT service companies for the March 2025 quarter due to seasonal weakness, lower billing days, and marginal deterioration in demand,” Sumit Pokharna from Kotak Securities advised Moneycontrol.
“The fallout of
tariff threats by the US is a slowdown and uncertainty in spending,” Pokharna added.
“Higher
tariffs may result in higher inflation (versus the two per cent target of the US Fed) and may impact the Fed’s rate cut decision which is not conducive for the IT sector, in general,” Pokharna added.
Elara Securities advised Financial Express, “There has been no meaningful recovery in the macro environment, especially in the US market, which should weigh on FY26 performance.”
“IT players are running out of levers for margin expansion given already low attrition and high utilization. Pricing strain does exist in new deals, which may cap meaningful margin expansion in FY26 our view. We prefer TCS, MPHL and LTIM on valuation comfort.”
