window 24h
IN SHORT
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares experienced a significant downturn, falling over 9% on Wednesday, its worst single-day performance since March 2020. This drop erased recent gains and occurred despite a generally positive outlook from brokerages. The decline follows a three-day rally in Indian IT stocks, which had surged over 3% earlier in the week amid hopes of AI integration. However, concerns over AI advancements and weak growth have led to a sharp sell-off, with technical analysts warning of further declines if TCS stock falls below Rs 2,200.
